D. Ratnasundari Devi And Ors. vs The Commissioner Of Urban Land Ceiling ... on 9 March, 1993

24. From a plain reading of sub-section (1) of Section 69, it is clear that it defines two separate powers of the Inspector General; firstly, general superintendence over all the registration offices and, secondly, to make rules consistent with the Act in respect of different functions specified in clauses (a) to (f) thereof. Sub-section (2), does not indicate even remotely, as contended by learned counsel for the parties opposing circular/instructions of Commissioner and Inspector General of Registration and Stamps, that circulars and instructions issued by the Inspector General, in exercise of power of general superintendence under Section 69 (1) need to be published in the Official Gazette. Sub-section (2) provides for publication of only Rules framed in exercise of powers under Section 69 (1) in Official Gazette. It further provides that on publication, the Rules shall have effect as if they are enacted under the Registration Act. The contention that the impugned circular has not been published in the Official Gazette, and therefore, has no effect of law deserves to be rejected outright. In our opinion, the Inspector General has power to issue circulars. In other words, the Inspector General, under Section 69 of the Registration Act, can exercise power of general superintendence over all registering officers in the territory under the State Government by issuing directions / circulars / instructions to the registering officers in the matter of registration of particular type of document. [See B. Ratnasundari Devi and others v. The Commissioner of Urban Land Ceiling, A.P., Hyderabad and others 1993 (2) ALT 428 (DB)]. Even otherwise, in our opinion, instructions/circulars, issued by the competent authorities are meant to be followed by all the subordinates.
