Counsel for the Petitjoner: SRI KATIKA RAVINDER REDDY Counsel for the Resp,ondents: Gp FOR STAMPS AND REGISTRA rlON The Court made the lollowing: ORDER : ;;iil ORDER: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.SARATH WRIT PETITION No.11565 of 2O25 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Stamps and Registration for respondents and perused the entire material on record.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the issue involved in this writ petition is squarely covered by the order passed by this Court in W.P.No.163 lO of 2019 and batch dated ll.OI.2023 and also the recent Judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in K. Gopi Vs. The Sub-Registrart and requested to pass similar order in this writ petition.

3. Learned Government Pleader for Stamps and Registration has not disputed the submission made by the lezrned counsel for the petitioners. He submits that the petitioners have not submitted the document before the respondents and if they submit the document, they have to consider the same subject to compliance of the provisions of the Registration Act, 1908 and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899' noqs scc online sc 740 2 w P N ).1 1565 of 2025 SK, J

4. The relevant portion of in W.P.No.1(i31O of 2Ol9 and batch dated 1 i.O 1 .t 023 is as 1l). T r: pou,cr of the registering authority to refuse rcgl tration is onll,, if irnv of the grounds or objections thai arc enurlerated under the provisions of the Registration Act, 1908, ancl tl.rr Rules made thcrt,under in particular Sections 19,20, 21,22-A, 34, 35 and rule 58 olire Telangana Rules under the Registration Act, 19f8, are existing rrr respect of any such document presented 1tr the registratior. Except, the grounds or objections that are cnur lerated under the provisions of the Registration Act, 1908, the rcg stering authorities lravc no authority to refuse registration of a doclrn ent on any other 13ound. As already noted above, the ground on u,h ch the impugned rcfusal orders in all these batch of Writ petiiicos are passed is t r1t Lhe link document shown in the respective docrLments is a valicla ted and an unregistered document. Bv lookiDg into a validrtv oi -he link document, the registering authority is iIx tirccdy verifving $hether the executants of the respective documer ts are having valiJ title or not to execute the documents in qucstrrn As held in thc r bove referred judgment in the case of Dr. yac11a F nmesh Nardu ( 1 st 1,ra), the registering authority is not entitled to go i rto thc title of thc l)ilrties to the document. It is a settled larv that the rendee under a dolument will not get a better title tharl his vendor and in case if ven,l,rr is not having a valid title over the propertv r,,.rich is the subject ratter of a particular document, the vendee un( er the said docufirnt does not get any title over such property a1]( ntere registration of such document will not have an effect on the ploperty which is thc subject matter of the said document.

14. As rightly conceded by the learned Government plea,ler for Stamps an<[ Registration, the registering authorities are not e-rtitled to refuse l'egistration of a document on mere gtound that the _itle of the executiu'rts of the respective document is based upco the validated d,rr:urnent, though the same is computsorily regist:rable document cannot be accepted and such a ground is not availi ble to 3 w.P.No. 1156s of 2O25 SK, J the registering authorities to refuse retistration of a docurnent on that ground-

19. In the light of the above, this Court is unhesitant to hold that the respondent registering authorities are not entitled to refuse registration of a document on the ground that the link document referred to in the respective document is a validated document or to refuse registration of such document by placing reliance on endorsement, dated O2.01.2008, issued by the Commissioner and Inspector General of Stamps and Registration. Accordingly, the impugned orders in the resPective Writ Petitions are set aside arld Writ Petitions are allowed with a further direction to the respondent registering authorities to receive the returned documents and to process the same subject to the condition of the said documents complying with the provisions of the Registration Act, 1908 and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899.

5. In K. Gopi's case (supra 1), the Hon'ble Supreme Court held as under: "The registering ofltcer is not concerned with the title held by the executant. He has no adjudicatory power to decide whether the executant has any title. Even if an executant executes a sale deed or a lease in respect of a land in respect of which he has no title, the rcgistering offrcer cannot refuse to register the document if all the procedural compliances are made and the necessary stamp duty as well as registration charges/fee are paid We may note here that under the scheme of the 1908 Act, it is not the function of the Sub- Registrar or Registering Authority to ascertain whether the vendor has title to the property which he is seeking to transfer. Once the registering authority is satislied that the parties to the document are present before him and the parties admit execution thereof before him, subject to making procedural compliances as narrated above' the document must be registered. The execution and registration of a document have the effect of transferring only those rights, if any, that the executant possesses. If the executant has no right, title, or interest in the property, the registered document cannot effect any transfer. 4 W.Ir.N ). I 1565 of 2025 SK, J

6. In view of the order passed in W.P.No.163l0 of 2019 and batch cated 11.01.2023 ald also the Judgm:nt of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in K. Gopi's case (supra 1) ald for the reasons rnentioned therein, the Writ P.etition ir, disposed of directing 1he respondent authorities to receive atLd register the sale deeC presented by the petitioners in respect of the subject plotr; without reference to the Letter C & IG Endt.
