THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHAN RAO WRIT PETITION NO.20072 OF 2011 19th July 2011. BETWEEN: SMT.KAMISETTY SUBHADRAMMA .. PETITIONER AND THE DISTRICT COLLECTOR CHITTOOR, CHITTOOR DISTRICT AND OTHERS .. RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHAN RAO WRIT PETITION NO.20072 OF 2011 O R D E R : This writ petition can be disposed of right at the admission stage as the controversy involved in this case is lying in a very narrow compass. One Sri.K.Venkataramana, S/o Sri.K.Krishnappa was an Ex-Serviceman. Considering his request land of an extent of Ac.1-90 cents in Sy.No.691/2 of Basinikonda Revenue village, Madanapalli Mandal, Chittoor District has been assigned to him on 18.07.1990. There is no controversy with regard to the status of Sri.K.Venkataramana that he was an Ex-Service man. Further, the State Government has taken a policy decision and announced the same through G.O.Ms.No.1117/Revenue (Assignment-I) Department, dated 11.11.1993 to accord permission to the Ex-Service man who have been assigned lands, for alienating the same after a lapse of ten years. As was noticed supra more than 10 years time has elapsed from the date on which the assignment was made in favour of the aforementioned individual. Therefore, as of now the lands can be alienated. The writ petitioner herein appears to be the wife of the original assignee. When she made an attempt to secure the valuation certificate from the 4th respondent-Sub-Registrar, Madanapalli, Chittoor District for the land in question the same was denied on the ground that there is no valuation to be furnished for assigned lands. In the instant case, the 3rd respondent-Tahsildar, Madanapalli, Chittoor District has to necessarily communicate to the Sub-Registrar the land value, if not the value of the land very precisely, atleast the value of the lands in the vicinity must be furnished. Such information would also be normally be available with the Sub-Registrar, therefore, it is only appropriate to direct the 3rd and 4th respondents herein to finalise the issue within 30 days from the date of receipt of this order and determine the lands’ value for the purpose of collection of stamp duty and registration fee in case land of Ac.1-90 cents in Sy.No.691/2 of Basinikonda Revenue village, Madanapalli Mandal, Chittoor District is sought to be alienated by the petitioner. Inasmuch as after 10 years period has elapsed, the nature of the land has to undergo a change and it cannot be treated as prohibited from being alienated any longer. Hence, this writ petition is allowed with the aforementioned directions. No costs. Dt: 19-07-2011.
