Pleader for Revenue for the respondents. The claim of the petitioner herein is that the petitioner has submitted a draft registered sale deed dated 30.03.2025 to register the same in favour of the purchaser and placed before the respondent No.3 herein. But, for one reason or the other, respondent No.3 neither received, registered the document nor refused and passed any order, so far. Hence, the writ petition. 3. ■ ■ 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in respect of the subject land in similar survey number, the then learned Government Pleader Srikakulam addressed a letter dated 08.11.2024 to the District Registrar, Srikakulam clarifying the nature of the land and also suggested that the lands in R.S.No.248/2 (T.S.No.377/2B) are free hold lands and respondent authorities cannot restrain the registration regarding the subject land. Therefore, the petitioner is entitled to the relief as claimed by him and the respondent No.3 shall receive and register the document placed before him as per the terms of Section 71 of the Registration Act, 1908. 5. On the other hand, learned Government Pleader for respondent Nos. 2 and 3 furnished written instructions dated 30.04.2025 issued by respondent No.3, wherein, it is stated as follows: “In this case, the temporary injunction granted in O.S.No.130 of 2024 was brought to the notice of the registering authority. Accordingly, the 3''^ respondent has to act in conformity with S. 0.219(b), exercise restraint from proceeding with registration of any transaction related to the subject land. I submit that no evidence has been filed along with the writ petition showing that the petitioner ever formally submitted the sale deed for registration or made any written representation before the Sub-Registrar that was rejected. ” 6. Having regard to the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue for the respondents and on perusal of the written instructions placed on record, it appears that since the petitioner already submitted draft sale deed before the respondent No.3, the respondent No.3 shall receive and register the same or to pass an order, in accordance with law. in view of the foregoing discussion, the writ petition is disposed of. 7. directing respondent No.3 herein either to receive and consider the draft sale deed already submitted by the petitioner or to pass appropriate orders or to register the same, if it is in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, pending in the writ petition shall stand closed. Sd/- M.
