ORDER : 1. Leave granted. 2. Application (IA No.76034/2024) for substitution is allowed after condoning the delay and setting aside the abatement. Cause title be amended accordingly. 3. When the matter was taken up for hearing, learned State counsel has pointed out a decision of this Court in Siri Nivasam Mutual Aided House Building Society Limited and others vs. State of Andhra Pradesh and others, (2018) 16 SCC 786 , to, inter alia, submit that the judgment rendered by a full-Bench of the High Court, which is impugned in the instant appeal, has since been set aside and the matter has been remitted to the High Court for fresh adjudication. 4. We find from paragraph 6 of the cited decision that it was brought to the notice of this Court that the main matter pertaining to vires of Section 22-A inserted in the Registration Act, 1908 (in short, the “1908 Act”), was pending before the High Court. It was also pointed out that all the contentions, which were sought to be raised in matters like the one in hand, were the subject- matter of consideration before the High Court. The operative part of the cited decision reveals that this Court eventually remanded the case to the High Court for fresh consideration along with the pending matters, giving liberty to the parties to raise their contention before the Bench concerned while considering the vires of Section 22-A, referred to above. 5. In view of the above-mentioned decision of a three- judge bench of this Court, we see no reason to take a different view. Consequently, the impugned judgment is set aside, and the case is remanded to the High Court, so that it can also be heard along with the pending cases wherein vires of Section 22-A of the 1908 Act has been challenged. 6. The parties shall be at liberty to raise all their contentions before the High Court. 7. The interim order dated 03.05.2018, whereby the parties were directed to maintain status quo, shall continue to operate for a period of eight weeks, enabling the parties present to seek its continuation before the High Court, if so required. 8. It is clarified that we have not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case. 9. The civil appeal is, accordingly, disposed of.
