THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO. 4884 OF 2011 Date: 07-03-2011 Between: G.Sreeramulu .. Petitioner And The District Collector, Ananthapur, Ananthapur District and three others .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO. 4884 OF 2011 ORDER: The cause for complaint in this Writ Petition is the action of the Sub-Registrar, Ananthapur Rural, Ananthapur District, the 4th respondent herein, in refusing to entertain the documents presented by the petitioner for registration. The said documents pertain to the land admeasuring Ac.10-20 cents in Sy.No.212-1 and Ac.7-50 cents in Sy.No.195/2 of Itikalapali Village, Ananthapur Mandal, Ananthapur District. The petitioner seeks a consequential direction to the 4th respondent to entertain and register the documents presented by him in respect of the subject land. Upon instructions, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue stated that the subject land was not covered by a notification issued under Section 22-A(2) of the Registration Act, 1908. Further, it is not in dispute that the subject land was originally assigned as long back as in the year 1927. In the light of the law laid down by this Court in W.P.No.7254 of 2009 holding to the effect that such old assignments were not coupled with any prohibition with regard to alienation and would not attract the provisions of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, the petitioner’s land cannot be treated as assigned land for the purposes of the said Act. The Registration Authorities therefore cannot refuse to entertain the documents presented by the petitioner in respect of the subject land on that ground. There shall accordingly be a direction to the 4th respondent to entertain the documents presented by the petitioner in respect of his land in Sy.No.212-1 and Sy.No.195/2 at Itikalapalli Village, Ananthapur Mandal, Ananthapur District and process and register the same in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. No order as to costs. ________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J 07-03-2011 Note: Issue cc in three days B/o.
