10. Learned Assistant Governme t Pleader has drawn attention of this Court to Sectio s 32 and 34 of the Registration Act 1908, which reads as unoer:- "32. Persons to present registration.-Except in the in 1 [sections 3], 88 and 891, e ocuments for es mentioned ery document to l\'.I'.

11. Learned Assistant Government Pleader would further submit that the procedure for seeking registration of a document is that the parties first and foremost have to execute the document by signing the document by following the provisions contemplated under Sections 32 and 34 of the Registration Act 1908 and shal1 present the document before the registering authority by paying 1 #Uu=q7' NVSK,J W P. No.34588 of 2024 9 registration charges, stamp d ty and other incidental charges by way of challan and e estimated amount for the same will be available in IG S website, enabling the parties to pay the challan. The after, the parties shall approach the registering authori , enclosing the cha-llan aiong with the relevant documen s, which proves that the parties har,e approached and m e a proper presentation of document sough for regis tion. However, in the present case, the petitiorler has ot enclosed the copy of challan, and no applircation was filed as a proof that the petitioner had approached the re pondent No.3. L2. Learned Assistant Govern ent Pleader has also placed on record, the circular in tructions issued by the Commissioner and Inspector Ge era-l of Registration and Stamps, Telarlgana, Hyderaba uide Circular Memo No.G3/9I22 /2024, dated 12.08 2024, wltich reads as under:- \.. NVSK.d W. P.No.34588 of 2024 I i l0 "Attention of the Sub-Registrars and.

13. Learned Assistant Governrn nt Pleader submits that in the circular dated 12.08.2024, the sub-registrars rvere directed to register/refuse the documents presented before them, Culy following the idelines issued in the cases of Vinjamuri Rajagopla Chary Vs. State of {D NVSK,J \\/. P. No 34588 of 2024 t2 Andhra Pradesh2 and M/s. lnvecta Technologies Private Limited Vs. Government of Andhra Pradesh3 a:-rd pass order, as expediticusly as possible, preferably, within one week from the date of receipt of the documents.

14. Strongly disputing the contentions of the petitioner, learned Assistant Government Pleader submitted that the petitioner neither approached the respondent No.3 nor presented any document lor i'egistration. As such, the question of refusal by the respondent does not arise, and therefore, a writ of maldamus cannot be issued directing the respondent to register the so called proposed sa-le deed.

15. It is not out of the place to observe that this Court on many occasions obsenzed that the petitioners in their writ aflidavits are stating that the Sub-Registrars are ' zot6 1z; eto zt6 (F'B) : 20 t5 scc on t-,ne Hr-d 407 ' zozt l1ett ztz t NVSK,.J W.P.No-34588 of 2024 orally refusing to register the do uments. It is striking to note that the parties in ord r to ensure that the document presented for regi tration shall not be rejected/refused for registration are hling writ petitions without following procedure con mplated under Section 32 and 34 of the Registration Ac 1908 are trying to seek orders by misleading the Court any of such instances have come to the notice o[ this C urt.

16. Under those circumstance. t is relevant to refer the order dated 19.08.1999, passed i Deverneni Linga Rao Vs. Sub-Registrar, Peddapallia he relevant paragraphs are extracted here under: "8. The well established Rul exceptions, is that the appli must show by euidence, that calling upon the concerned au public dutg and that tuas rne bgwords or bg conduct Applgi the Apex Court in Saraswati Ltd Etc., u.- Union of India, t , subject to certain ant for mandamus he made a demand horily to perform his with refusal either this salutarg rule, ustictl Sgndicate ' r 999 161nLo raa NVSK,.I !v P No.34588 of 2024 t4 ".....

Neuertheless, the wetll rt:cogruised ntle that no Lurit or order in the nctture of a mandamus would issue u,then there is no failure to perform a marud"atorA duty applies in lhr.s countrA as tuell. Duen in cases of alleged breaches of mandatory duties, the saLutary gene-ral nile, which is subject to certain exceptions, o1-tplied bg us, as it is in England, when a utrit of rnandamus is asked for, could be stated as u)e ftnd it set out in Halsbury's Lau,s of England (3rd edition, Vol.13, P. 106): 'As a general rule the order u.till not be granted unless the partg complained of has knoutn tuhat it was he LUas required to do, so tltal lte h.ad the medns of considering whether or not lrc should complA, and it must be shown bg euide:nce that there was a distinct demand of that uthich the party seeking the mandamus desires to enforce, and that that demand tuas met by a refusaL". From the aforementtoned facts and circutnstances it is clear that the petitioners could not and did not shou that they made a demand to the respondent and that was met with refusal. There.fore, it is not possible to issue the: declaration soughl for or the consequentiaL direction commanding the respondent herein to register the sctle deeds proposed to be executed bg the petitioners in fauour of their purchasers.

It is also relevant to refer t e order passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in K.Ja ram and others Vs. Bangalore Development Auth ity and others, the relevant paragraphs are extracted ereunder:- "10.ft is uell-settled that exercised bg the High C 226 of lhe Constitution extraordinary, equitable and it is imperatiue that the peti the urit court must come uit put fonaard all facts before concealing or suppressing an bound to state all facts uLhi the litigation.

State Ba.nk of India t has held that a prerogatiue remedu is not auailable as a matter of course. In exercising extraordinary poLuer, o uit court tuould indeed bear in mind. the conduct of the party uhich is inuoking such juisdiction. If the applicant does not disclose full facts or suppres$es releuant materials or is otheru.tise guiltg of misleading the court, the court maA dismlss the action utithout adjudicating the matter. It utas held thus: "33. It ls fhus clgar that though the appellant Compang had approached the High Court under Article )26 of the Constitution, it had ruot candidlg stated all the facts to the Court. The High Court ls exercising discretionary and extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. Ouer and aboue, a courl of latu ls also a court of equitg. It is, therefore, of utmost necessitg that when a partA approaches a High Court, he must place all the facts before the Court ulithout a-nA reseruation. If there is suppression of mateial facts on the part of the applicant or tuisted facts haue been placed before the Court, the utrit court mag refuse to entertain the petition and dismiss it tptthout enteing into merits of the matter." 12. In Udgami Eaam Khadi Grannodgog Welfare Sanstha and Another u.

The underlging object stated bg Scrutton, L.J., in t e leading case of R. u.

A prerogatiue remedy is not a matter of course. WTtile exerctsing extraordinary pouter a writ court tuould certairuly biear in mind the conduct of the partA rt.tho inuokes the jurisdiction of tLrc couh. If the applicant makes a false statement or suppresses material fact or attempts to mislead the court, the court may dlsmiss the action on that ground alone and may refuse to ente.r into the merits of the case bg stating, "We will not listen to Aour application because of u.that gou haue done-" The ntle has been euolued in the larger public interest to deter unscrupulous litigants from abusirtg the process of court bg deceiuing it. In Kensington Income Tax 37. Commissioners. ( supra), Viscount Re ading, C. J - obserued: (KB pp. 495-96) "... Where an ex parte application has been made to this Court for a rale nisi or other process, trf the Courl comes to the conclusion that the afftdauit in suppotl of the application tuas not candid and did not fairlg state the facts, but stated them in such a uaA as to mislead the Court as to the tnte facts, the Court ought, fo, lls ou)n protection and to preuent an abuse of its process, to refuse to proceed ang furtlrcr utith the examination of the merits.

38. The aboue principles ha our legal system a/so. As partA uho ipuokes t jurisdiction of this Court und. High Court under Article 226 is supposed to be truthful, must disclose all mateial reseruation euen if they a cannot be allotued to play "pick and choose" the facts and to suppress (keep back (conceal) other facts. The ue jurisdiction rests in disclo compLete (correct) facts. If suppressed or distorted, the writ courts and exercise impossible. The petitioner m facts hauing a bearing utithout ang qualifi.cation T court knows law but not facts 39. If the pimary object Kensington Income Tax Com tn mind, an applicant utho d. \$ e been accepted in r settled law, the extraordinarg e r Article 32 or of a of the Constitution 'ank and open.

It is a jugglery, manipulation, manoeuuing or misrepresentation, uthich has no place in equitable and prerogatiue jurisdiction. If the applicant does not disclose all the material facts fairly and trulg but sta/es them in a distorted manner'and misleads the court, the court has inherent power in order to protect itself and to preuent an abuse of its process to discharge the rule nisi and refuse to proceed further uith the examination of the case on meits. If the court does not reject the petition on that ground, the court tuould be failing in its duty. In fact, such an applicant requires to be dealt with for contempt of court for abusing the process of the court."

18. In thc case on hand, the petitioner submitted that when the petitioner enquired about getting a sale deed registered, respondent No.3 informed that on the instructions of respondent No.4,' respondent No.3 was requested not to entertain and register the sa-le deed in respect of the subject property on the ground that the said land is part of Waqf Gazettee notification bearing No.6,{ dated 09.02.1989 at S1.No.2746. L-. f )l NVSK,J W.P No.34588 oI2O24

19. It is Pertinent to note th t in the present case neither a refusal order was ssed nor any reason assigned 1n writing by the re pondent No.3 denying registration and infact the sa-le eed was not presented for registration before respond nt No.3. The learned counsel for the petitioner, who erihed the pleadings of writ afhdavit, had misrepresente the facts and tried to secure an order.

20. In this connection, it is ignificant to refer the judgment rendered by the Hon'bl Apex Court in the case of Rajasthan Pradesh Vaidya S miti Sardarshahar and another Vs. Union of India and other6 wherein at para 1l observed as under: "11. It is a settled propositi has to plead the case sufficient evidence to submissions made in the pe pleadings are not complete, t obligation to entertain of law that a party d produce/adduce substantiate his tion and in case the e court is under no pleas. In Bharat \- \ o AIR 20 lo SUPREME couRT 2221 NVS Iri' W.P.No.34588 of 2024 l 22 Singhv. State of Llaryana IAIR i988 SC 2181] this Court has observed as under : "73. ... In our opinion, when a point which is ostensibly a point of 1aw is required to be substantiated by facts, the party raising the point, if he is the writ petitioner, must plead and prove such facLg by evidence which must appear lrom the '*.rit petition and if he is the respondent, lrom the counter-affidavit. If the facts are not pleaded or the evrtlence in support of such facts is not annexgd to the writ petition or to the counter-affidavit, as the case may be, the Court will not entertain the point. There is a distinction between a pleading under the Code of Civil Procedure and a writ petition or a counter- affidavit. While in a pleading i.e. a plaint or a written statement, the facts and not evidence are required to be pleaded, in a writ petition or in the counter-affidavit, not only the facts but also the evidence in proof of such facts have to be pleaded and arnexed to it. " ) NVSK,J W.P.No-34588 oI2024 23

21. In my considered opinion, e aforesaid submission of the learned Assistant Gove ment Pleader is well founded. Admittedly, the petitio er did not produce aly documentary proof in support of their averment that she had executed and presented the a-le deed for registration before respondent No.3, and th sarne was refused for regrstration. The petitioner coul not even mention the date on which she had" appro Therefore, it is difficult for thi statement of the petitioner th ched the respondent. Court to accept the t the petitioner had approached the respondent au ority for registration, more so, rvhen that statement i specihcally denied by the respondent

22. At this stage, it is relevant refer the order passed by the Hontrle Supreme Court in ijay Syal V. State of PunjabT dated 22.05.2003. the elevant paragraph 1S extracted hereuncier: - 2001 Supp( l) SCR 242 \ e * rJ "In order to sustain and maintain sanctity and. solemnitg of the proceedings in law courls it is necessary that parties should not make false or knouingly, inaccurate statements or misrepresentation and/or should not conceal material facts utith a design to gain some aduontage or beneftt at the hands of the court, when a coutl is considered as a place where truth and justice are the solemn pursuits. If any partA attempts to pollute such a place bg adoptirtg recotlrse to make' misrepresentation and is concealing matericLl facts it d-oes so at its risk and cost. Such pqrtA must be ready to take consequences that follou on account of its ou_tn making. At times lenient or liberal or generous treatment bg courts in dealing with such matters are either mistaken or Lighttg taken instead. of leaming proper .,lesson. Hence there ls a compelling need to take serious uietu in such matters to ensu.re expected purity and grace in the administration oJ justice."

23. In the aforesaid case, the Honble Supreme Court heid that any false statement in the petition is abuse of law and serious view has to be taken by Court. In the present case, the petitioner in order to suit her case and to secure an order ha.s made misleading averments. Hence, this writ petition is liable to be dismissed.
