Expressing displeasure over the Chief Secretary not complying with its direction issued on August 25, the Telangana High Court had given one more week’s time to the top official to file an affidavit over instructing all the District Collectors to pass on details of the prohibited properties under Section 22A of the Registration Act 1908 to all Sub-Registrars concerned.

A Bench of Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice G.M. Mohiuddin, hearing a batch of writ petitions over some Sub-Registrar offices in the State not accepting the sale deeds presented for registration, directed that the CS should appear personally before it on Wednesday, if he failed to submit the affidavit.
