ORDER:

Heard Sri Anirudh Nellikonda, learned Counsel for the petitioners and Smt. S.Sravanthi, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Stamps and Registration appearing for the respondents and perused the material on record. With their consent, this Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission itself.

2. Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners filed the present writ petition questioning the action of the respondent No.5 in refusing to register the sale deed Document P.No.P-119/2025 dated 11.08.2025 through Lr.No.195/2025 dated 11.08.2025 in respect of plot in Sy.No.347 admeasuring 117 Square Yards or 97.81 sq. mtrs situated at Aushapur Village under Ghatkesar Municipality, Ghatkeshar Mandal, Medchal-Malkajgiri District erstwhile Aushapur Gram Panchayat, Ranga Reddy District as illegal and arbitrary.

3. Learned Counsel for the petitioners further submits that the impugned Refusal Order No.195 of 2025 dated 11.08.2025 passed by respondent No.5 is based on the instructions issued by the Commissioner and Inspector General of Registration and Stamps, Telangana vide Memo No.G2/257/2019 dated 26.08.2020, wherein it was mentioned as under: “The Plots are part of Layout not duly approved by the competent authority such as GHMC, HMDA, DTCP, etc..

The ownership is supported by the registered link documents making valid and lawful title. The property described in the current document does not satisfy either of these criteria. It lacks both the required layout approval and any reference to registered link document that could establish the chain of title.”

4. Learned Counsel for the petitioners further submits that the reasons mentioned in the present Writ Petition with regard to the link documents were already considered by this Court in W.P.No.8556 of 2025 on 10.04.2025 directing the respondent authorities therein to receive and register the sale deed presented by the petitioners therein in respect of the subject plots without reference to the letter dated 28.11.2006 issued by respondent No.2 therein with regard to refusal of registration.

5. Learned Counsel for the petitioners further submits that, as per G.O.Ms.No.28, Municipal Administration and Urban Development (Plg.III) Department, dated 20.02.2025, at paragraph No.3 of the Amendments, it is stated that any unregistered plots which are forming part of an unauthorized layout wherein 10% of plots were already sold through registered sale deed on or before 26.08.2020, irrespective of whether such owners have applied under LRS-2020 or not, shall be permitted for registration with the competent Sub-Registrar, duly collecting the layout regularization charges and pro-rata open space charges as mandated. The details of such plots shall be collected in the prescribed format by the sub-registrar and transmitted to the LRS portal for processing under these rules. In spite of that the registering authority, without collecting the requisite layout regularization charges and pro-rata open space charges, passed the refusal order. Therefore, learned Counsel has requested to allow the writ petition by directing the respondent authorities to receive and register the subject document P.No.P-119/2025 dated 11.08.2025 and release the same in pursuance of the G.O.Ms.No.28, Municipal Administration and Urban Development (Plg.III) Department, dated 20.02.2025 issued by the Government of Telangana.

6. On the other hand, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Stamps and Registration has not disputed the submissions made by the learned Counsel for the petitioners with regard to the disposal of W.P.No.8556 of 2025 dated 10.04.2025 and submitted that the petitioners, without making any
