THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.3753 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the absolute owner and possessor of the land to an extent of Ac.5.00 cents in Sy.No.283 situated at Alamuru village, Ananthapur Mandal and District, having purchased the same from his vendors. He asserts that he approached the 4th respondent for registration of the documents presented by him in respect of the said land. The 4th respondent is said to have insisted that the petitioner must obtain ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the revenue authorities. It is in this context that the petitioner approached the 3rd respondent with an application. On 29.11.2010, the 3rd respondent sent proposals to the 1st respondent through the 2nd respondent recommending for issuance of NOC in favour of the petitioner as the land in dispute was assigned in the year 1926 and that there was no condition of non-alienation at the time of assignment. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since the subject lands were assigned in the year 1926 and that there was no condition for prohibition of alienation of the subject lands at the time of assignment, there is no necessity of obtaining ‘No Objection Certificate’. Learned counsel relied on the orders passed by this Court in W.P.No.7254 of 2009 dated 07.04.2009. The condition prohibiting alienation of the assigned lands was incorporated in the year 1958 and in all the assignments made earlier thereto, the said condition was not incorporated. Therefore, the prohibition contained under Section 22-A of the Registration Act or Sections 3 and 5 of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, does not operate vis-à-vis the lands that were assigned earlier to 1958. In view of the above and following the order dated 07.04.2009 passed in W.P.No.7254 of 2009, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 4th respondent to receive the documents that are presented by the petitioner and process the same for registration in respect of the lands mentioned above, without insisting on submission of ‘No Objection Certification’ from Respondents 1 to 3. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA,J 18.02.2011 v v
