THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 22460 of 2009 Dated: 08.02.2011 Between: Attar Ibrahim Saheb and others ..... PETITIONERS AND The District Collector and others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 22460 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners are aggrieved by the letter dated 14.11.2007 issued by the 1st respondent vide which the land comprised in survey Nos.2042/1 and 2042/2, measuring Ac.6.55 cents from out of the total extent of Ac.19.98 cents of land of Doddipalli Village, Piler Mandal, Chittoor District has been classified as Government land. The petitioners has prayed that the aforementioned letter be quashed and directions be issued to the respondents to entertain the documents presented by the petitioners for the purpose of registration and register the same. Briefly the facts of the case are that: Attar Ibrahim Saheb, grandfather of the 1st petitioner purchased land an extent of Ac.19.98 cents in survey No.2042 of Doddipalli Village, Piler Mandal, Chittoor District from Diviti Ranganayakulu. After the death of Attar Ibrahim Saheb, the above said land devolved on his four sons equally i.e., 4.99½ cents each. The land has been transferred from hand to hand through registered sale deeds from time to time. The petitioners are at present said to be in possession and enjoyment of land an extent of Ac.6.55 cents in survey Nos.2042/1 and 2042/2 out of total extent of Ac.19.98 cents of Doddipalli Village, Piler Mandal, Chittoor District. The petitioners filed an application before the 4th respondent to receive the documents and register the same. However, the same was refused on the ground that the aforementioned lands have been classified as Government lands vide letter dated 14.11.2007 issued by the District Collector, Chittoor District. In Writ Petition No. 3032 of 2010 the Government took stand that the aforementioned lands are Government lands and this Court allowed the Writ Petition No.3032 of 2010 and quashed the letter dated 14.11.2007 and directed the respondents to receive the documents and register the sale deeds presented by the petitioners. Learned counsel submits that the present case is similar to the aforementioned writ petition because in this case also the lands are comprised in survey No.2042, measuring Ac.19.98 cents. The learned counsel for the respondents submits that the petitioners have not presented any documents before the 4th respondent and hence, the 4th respondent obviously could not register the sale deeds. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the considered opinion that the present writ petition is squarely covered by the decision in Writ Petition No. 3032 of 2010 decided on 01.11.2010 and accordingly, the Writ Petition is allowed and the respondents are directed to receive the documents, which may be submitted by the petitioners and register the same in accordance with law. No costs. _____________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J Date: 08.02.2011 Ivd/Bsb
