\n

Orissa High Court:<\/span> In the present petition, the petitioner sought a direction to the District Sub-Registrar (‘Sub-Registrar’), Bolangir, to accept a deed for sale for registration, which the Sub-Registrar had orally refused to accept. A Single Judge Bench of A. C. Behera, J.<\/span>, while allowing the petition, held that when a document was presented for registration, it is the duty of the Sub-Registrar to accept it, and if it is not in compliance with the provisions of law, the Sub-Registrar might refuse to register it, by assigning the reasons in writing for such non-acceptance and refusal<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Court emphasised that the law clearly stated that a Sub-Registrar cannot orally refuse to accept a document presented for registration. The Court pointed out that as per the Registration Act, 1908<\/a> (‘Registration Act’) and the Orissa Registration Rules, 1988 (‘1988 Rules’), the Sub-Registrar is required either to have registered the document or to have refused registration by providing written reasons if the document was not legally fit for acceptance.<\/p>\n

The Court referred to North East Infrastructure (P) Ltd. v. State of Andhra Pradesh<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a>, wherein it was held that the Sub-Registrar\/Registrar could not have orally refused to receive the document and would have considered the fitness of it for registration or otherwise. Section 71<\/a> of the Registration Act<\/a> empowered the Registration Authorities to receive a document which was presented for registration and to have processed the same, and thereafter, either to have registered such sale deed or any other document or to have passed a refusal order.<\/p>\n

The Court applied the afore-stated legal principles and, by considering Rule 147 of the 1988 Rules, directed the District Sub-Registrar, Bolangir, to accept the deed for sale if presented by the petitioner along with a certified copy of the judgment. The Court further instructed the Sub-Registrar to act in accordance with the Registration Act and the 1988 Rules.<\/p>\n

The Court thus disposed of the petition accordingly.<\/p>\n
