THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6728 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have acquired title to different extents of land in various sub-divisions of survey No.103 of Shamshabad Village and Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 2nd respondent is not entertaining and releasing sale deeds, in respect of the said lands, on the basis of a communication, dated 24.02.2009, received from the office of District Registrar, Ranga Reddy District, the 1st respondent herein. Through the said communication, the 1st respondent informed the 2nd respondent that the Joint Collector, Ranga Reddy District, has furnished lists of Government lands and assigned lands and the Sub-Registrars were instructed not to entertain sale deeds, in respect of the said lands. The petitioner submits that, even in the Khasra pahani, which happens to be the basic document, the land in survey No.103 was mentioned as a private patta land and there was absolutely no basis for inclusion of that land or sub-divisions thereof, in the list of Government properties. Heard Sri Vedula Venkataramana, learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The newly introduced Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908, does not provide for publication of any notifications enlisting the properties, in respect of which registration of transactions is prohibited. Five categories are mentioned as clauses (a) to (e) under sub-section (1), and registration of documents in respect of those properties, is prohibited. The communication received from the 1st respondent has the effect of including those properties under one of the categories. In case, the petitioner is able to point out that the land, in survey No.103 or the sub-divisions thereof, does not belong to Government by placing necessary documents before the Joint Collector, Ranga Reddy District, necessary corrective steps can certainly be taken. Instances are not lacking, where the properties, which were mentioned as owned by Government, were deleted from the list, after verification of the records. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to submit a representation to the Joint Collector, Ranga Reddy District, as regards the category or classification of lands in survey No.103, together with the supporting material. As and when such representation is made, the Joint Collector shall cause necessary verification and pass appropriate orders, within a period of two months, thereafter. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dated:31.03.2009. GJ
