ORDER

Heard both sides.

2.The writ petitioner and the other executants presented the petition mentioned partition deed for registration. The registering officer declined to entertain the document on the ground that the guideline value for the petition mentioned property has been shown as Zero. Hence, this writ petition has been filed.

3.The petitioner is permitted to submit a request to the second respondent in writing calling upon him to value the property and upload the details in the website. The second respondent will conduct spot inspection, peruse the relevant records and submit a proposal to the third respondent. The third respondent in turn shall go into the issue and dispose of the petitioner's request by passing a speaking order within a period of eight weeks from the date of proposal from the Tahsildar. It is for the revenue and registration department to coordinate between themselves and decide on the fixation of the guideline value. The authorities concerned shall act in the matter upon production of a copy of this order. If the valuation exercise is completed in favour of the petitioner, the details shall be uploaded in the concerned website. The entire exercise shall be completed within a period of four months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. Once the details are uploaded, the petitioner is entitled to present the partition deed for registration and if the petitioner's request for valuation is accepted by the jurisdictional Revenue Divisional Officer, the petition mentioned document can be re-submitted and the same shall be registered. If on the other hand, any adverse order is passed, it is of course open to the petitioner to approach this Court again for relief.

4.This Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs.
