JUDGMENT
Petitioner claims title to 2.08 Acres of land as per
Ext.P1. Prior document of title relating to the same is
Ext.P2, and the Vendor of the petitioner had remitted tax in
relation to the said property as per Ext.P3. Possession of
the said property by the Vendor is evidenced by Exts.P4
and P5. Apparently, a no-encumbrance certificate was
obtained from the Sub Registrar prior to the petitioner
having purchased the property. Petitioner sought for
mutation under the Transfer of Registry Rules. There was a
delay in further processing of the petitioner’s application.
He approached the District Collector with Ext.P8 which has
been forwarded to the Tahsildar, the 2nd respondent, who is
also approached by the petitioner when there was further
delay as evidenced by Ext.P9. Yet there has been no action
and hence the writ petition.
2. I heard learned senior Government Pleader also.

3. Action shall be taken by the 2nd respondent on Ext.P9
after conducting necessary enquiries and taking note of the
endorsements made by the District Collector in Ext.P8 also,
in accordance with the Transfer of Registry Rules. Needful
shall be done within one month from the date of receipt of
a copy of the judgment along with the copy of the writ
petition.
Writ petition is disposed of as above.
V.GIRI,
Judge
