At the hearing, it is represented by the learned Counsel for the petitioners and conceded by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue that the issue raised in this Writ Petition is squarely covered by a Division Bench of this Court in Sub Registrar, Srikalahasti v. K.Guravaiah[1] and that several judgments of the learned Single Judges were passed following the said Division Bench Judgment, whereby it was declared that by virtue of the legislative exemption contained in Section 6 of Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short ‘the Act’), the persons who purchases the assigned lands through auction held by the Cooperative Institutions for recovery of the loans advanced by them derive absolute title over the lands and that they cannot be treated as assigned lands for the purpose of further alienation and that the prohibition on alienation contained under the provisions of the Act does not apply to such lands. Following the above declaration of law and on the undisputed facts of this case that the petitioners’ predecessors in title have purchased the assigned lands in public auction for recovery of the Cooperative loans, the Writ Petition is allowed and the Mandamus shall issue as prayed for. As a sequel to disposal of the main petition, WPMP.No.33520 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
