O RD E R
(Order of the Court was made by T h e Hon’bl e C hi e f J u s ti c e )
The petitioner, claiming to be the Secretary of the Consumer Rights
Protection Council, seeks to file the present writ petition, in public interest, on
account of the grievance that any transaction for purchase of immovable property
of any kind, which are registrable and whereafter patta is required to be issued,
the 2nd respondent/Registration Office is collecting charges for patta transfer and
even issuing receipts as also for sub-division. It is submitted that thus when the
purchaser approaches the revenue authorities, a second set of charges are to be
paid.
2.In the counter affidavit, it has been stated that patta transfer
application in prescribed form/Registration-II Form No.52, tendered along with documents presented for registration, is forwarded by the Sub-Registrar to the
Tahsildar in whose jurisdiction the property is situated and the job of collecting
this fee now has been entrusted to the Registration Department as per G.O.Ms.No.
916 CT & RE Department, dated 23.08.1984. It is thus submitted that there is no
occasion to once again pay the fee to the Revenue Authorities.
3.The aforesaid stand of the respondents thus shows that the
requirement is to pay only one set of fee but, the collecting agency for such fee is
now the Registration Office. No second set of fee is required to be paid.
4.The petition is accordingly closed. No costs. Connected
miscellaneous petition is also closed.
