Upon instructions, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue stated that the subject land is reflected in the revenue records as Government land. However, it is admitted that no notification is issued by the Government under Section 22-A(2) of the Registration Act, 1908 in respect of the subject lands. In the event the Government wishes to put in place a prohibition with regard to registration of documents in respect of lands falling under Section 22-A(1)(e) of the Registration Act, 1908, including Government land, it necessarily has to issue a notification under Section 22-A(2) thereof. In the absence of such a notification, it would not be open to the revenue authorities to restrain the registration authorities from registering documents on the basis of their claims with regard to such lands. There shall accordingly be a direction to the Sub-Registrar, Madanapalle, Chittoor District, to entertain and process the petitioner’s document, in respect of the lands in Sy.No.521/3 of B.K.Palle Revenue Village, Madanapalle Mandal, Chittoor District, for registration in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. No order as to costs. --------------------------- SANJAY KUMAR,J 4TH MARCH, 2011 PGS/VGSR ( ) THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.4611 OF 2011 4TH MARCH, 2011
