THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 11114 OF 2011 O R D E R: This Writ Petition has been instituted complaining about the action of the respondent Sub-Registrar, Chandragiri declining to entertain transactions of sale relating to lands possessed by the writ petitioners situate in Paidipalle Village, Tirupathi Rural Mandal, Chittoor District. Paidipalle Village was an inam village. In pursuance of the Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) Estates (Abolition and Conversion of Ryotwari) Act, 1948, after the abolition of the estate, settlement has been worked out for Paidipalle inam village. State Government, through their G.O.Ms.No. 548 Revenue (JA) Department, dated 28.01.2003 considered the entire matter and directed the Collector, Chittoor to distribute ryotwari pattas to all such enjoyers, who are found in possession of the land shown in the annexure to the said Order in Paidipalle inam estate village. Accordingly, the District Collector seems to have distributed pattas in favour of the occupiers of land in the inam village. The case of the writ petitioners is that they are few of them in whose favour such pattas were granted. When they propose to alienate these lands, by entering into transactions of sale, the Sub- Registrar is objecting to it. He is not even entertaining the documents for the purpose of registration. So long as there is no prohibition imposed against entertaining the documents for registration purposes and so long as the provisions of Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908 are not attracted, all such transactions of immovable property worth more than Rs.100/- are liable to be registered. Hence, the respondent is directed not to decline to entertain any document concerning sale of immovable property belonging to the writ petitioners, situate in Paidipalle Village and receive the same and process them in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders thereon. With this, the Writ Petition stands disposed of, after hearing the learned Assistant Government pleader for Revenue. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 21st April 2011 Issue CC in a week. ksld
