The Court made the following:





 ORDER:                           
This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.3 in not receiving and registering the document sought to be presented by the petitioner in respect of plot bearing No.LIG-22 in survey No.164 of Simhapuri layout, Vepagunta Village, Visakhapatnam District as illegal and arbitrary.

I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. 

It is the pleaded case of the petitioner that the abovementioned plot was allotted to him by the Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority (VUDA) in the year 1991 and the same was registered in his favour on 18.10.1995.   When the petitioner sought to sell the said plot, he approached the VUDA for permission as per the terms of the sale deed. Accordingly, the VUDA by its proceedings vide Plot No.LIG-22/S.P/F4 dated 18.10.2012 granted permission to the petitioner subject to his payment of Rs.40,186/-.  It is the further pleaded case of the petitioner that when he approached respondent No.3 for receiving the sale deed, he has refused to receive the same without giving any reasons.

In the light of the permission granted by the VUDA which sold the plot to the petitioner, it is not permissible for respondent No.3 to refuse to receive and register the sale deed sought to be presented by the petitioner. 

Hence, a mandamus shall issue to respondent No.3 to receive the sale deed from the petitioner and process the same in accordance with the provisions of Section 71 of the Registration Act, 1908.

The Writ petition is allowed to the extent indicated above.

As a sequel, W.P.M.P.No.196 of 2013 shall stand disposed of as infructuous.
