THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26817 of 2010 Date: 30.11.2010 Between: K.Siva Prasad Reddy ..... PETITIONER AND The Revenue Divisional Officer, Madanapalle, Chittoor District and two others .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri SURESH KUMAR REDDY KALAVA Counsel for the Respondents: AGP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.3 in not registering the document presented by the petitioner in respect of the land admeasuring 26 cents in Survey No.44 of Piler Village and Mandal, Chittoor District, as arbitrary and illegal. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, on instructions, submitted that since the above mentioned land has been included in A-Register showing the same as Government assessed waste, the document was not entertained for registration. While dealing with similar situation, this Court in W.P.No.3042 of 2010 vide order dated 01.11.2010 held as under: “In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of respondent No.2, it is stated that the property in question is Government land in terms of Permanent A-Register prepared in the year 1914 and therefore, the same was included in the list of prohibited lands for registration, communicated to respondent No.3. While dealing with a similar situation, this Court in Shaik Dudekula Pyari Jan @ Lal Bi and others v. The Revenue Divisional Officer, Madanapalli, Office of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Punganur Road, Madanapalli, Chittoor District and others[1], held that mere entry in the RSR is not conclusive proof of title. The petitioners have specifically pleaded in the affidavit and the same is not denied by the respondents in the counter affidavit that several sale transactions through registered sale deeds have taken place from 1971 in respect of the same land. In my opinion, the reasoning of this Court in the above-mentioned judgment squarely applies to this case. Accordingly, this writ petition is allowed with a direction to respondent No.3 to entertain the documents presented by the petitioners for registration without treating the land as belonging to the Government. However, this order does not preclude the Government and its functionaries from asserting their title over the property in an appropriate Court of law.” In view of the reasoning contained in the above reproduced order, the writ petition is allowed and a mandamus be issued as prayed for.
