Operative part
Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Section 22-A of the Act empowered the Government to issue notifications almost preventing the registration of documents in respect of the lands to be mentioned therein. Such a power was held to be ultra vires and the provision was struck down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in State of Rajasthan v. Basanth [1] Nahata . Once the sole basis for the second respondent to refuse registration had disappeared, he is under obligation to receive the documents and consider the same in accordance with the provisions of the Indian Stamp Act and the Registration Act. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the second respondent to receive and process the documents presented by the petitioner and take necessary steps in accordance with the provisions of the Indian Stamp Act and the Registration Act, within one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________
