THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.4894 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners assail the action of the Sub-Registrar, Ananthapur Rural, Ananthapur District, in not entertaining their documents for registration in respect of the lands in Sy.No.168-2C of Kakkalapalli village, Ananthapur Mandal, Ananthapur District. The subject lands, as per the District Collector, Ananthapur, in his communication dated 10.01.2008 addressed to the Sub-Registrar, Stamps & Registration Department, Ananthapur, were assigned as long back as in the year 1950. The said assignment would therefore not have been subject to any prohibition as to alienation, as such prohibition was introduced only thereafter. In that view of the matter, the Sub-Registrar, Ananthapur Mandal, Ananthapur District, cannot refuse to entertain the petitioners’ documents on the ground that the subject lands were originally assigned lands. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the Sub- Registrar, Ananthapur Rural, Ananthapur District, to entertain and process the petitioners’ documents in respect of the lands in Sy.No.168-2C of Kakkalapalli village, Ananthapur Mandal, Ananthapur District, without insisting upon production of a ‘No Objection Certificate’ and without reference to the fact that these lands were originally assigned lands. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR 01.03.2011 Note: Issue CC in four days B/o v v
