In a recent court case, Judge Anil Kumar Jukanti looked at a request about moving the District Registrar Office from Sangareddy to Patancheru. Let's break it down.
Who Filed It?
Turupu Jayaprakash Reddy, a local member of the legislative assembly (MLA), filed the request.
What's the Issue?
Turupu Jayaprakash Reddy argued against the government order from March 25, 2023, which suggested moving the Registrar Office from Sangareddy to Patancheru. He claimed this would make it harder for locals who would have to travel farther for services.
Quote from the Petition
"...shifting the office... as illegal, arbitrary, unjust and misuse of official powers..."
What Did They Say?
The government, represented by the Assistant Government Lawyer, argued that the move was to make things work better. Patancheru is a growing city area with a lot of registrations, making it a good location.
Why Patancheru?
The government pointed out that Patancheru had a lot more transactions and brought in more money compared to Sangareddy, justifying the move.
Quote from the Government
"...Patancheru has emerged as a fast-growing urban centre with a heavy volume of registration transactions..."
No Immediate Changes
On April 4, 2023, the court decided to keep things the same for now, meaning no immediate changes were made.
Future Steps
The court allowed the government to think about making a new order if needed, but the Registrar Office at Sangareddy would stay open for now.
Quote from the Court
"...interests of justice would be met, if the Government be permitted to issue a fresh G.O..."
The court decided that while the government could suggest changes, they must make sure the public's convenience is a priority. This decision allows for possible changes in administration while keeping the public's needs in mind.
