THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.2464 OF 2011 DATED 4TH MARCH, 2011 BETWEEN Putta Reddy Lokanatha Reddy and another. …Petitioners And The Government of A.P. rep. by its Secretary, Revenue Department (Registration), Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.2464 OF 2011 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioners is that the registration authorities are not entertaining the document presented by them in respect of Plot No.1 in Survey No.74/7 of Industrial Park, Auto Nagar, Tirupathi. The reason for not entertaining the document is stated to be the letter dated 23.10.2010 addressed by the Joint Collector-cum- Settlement Officer, Chittoor, wherein the said officer informed the registration authorities that cases were pending under the Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1948 before the Joint Collector-cum-Settlement Officer, Chittoor, and therefore the documents in respect of the lands involved in such cases should not be entertained for registration. The petitioners’ land also finds mention in the said list. Upon instructions, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue stated that no notification has been issued in respect of the subject land under Section 22-A(2) of the Registration, 1908 and that the petitioners did not present any document before the registration authorities. In the light of the admission on the part of the respondents that there is no notification issued under Section 22-A(2) of the Registration Act, 1908, there cannot be any prohibition with regard to registration of the document presented by the petitioners in respect of Plot No.1 in Survey No.74/7 of Industrial Park, Auto Nagar, Tirupathi. The communication by the revenue authorities with regard to pendency of cases or basing on entries in the revenue records would not have the effect of a notification under the said provision. Further, it is not the case of the registration authorities that there is any bar as regards alienation under the Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1948 in respect of lands involved in the cases pending thereunder. There shall accordingly be a direction to the registration authorities to entertain the document presented by the petitioners in respect of Plot No.1 in Survey No.74/7 of Industrial Park, Auto Nagar, Tirupathi, and process and register the same in accordance with law. The Writ Petition is disposed of with the above direction. No costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 4TH MARCH, 2011. Note: Issue C.C. in three days. B/O VGSR/PGS
