THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.3637 of 2011 ORDER: The husband of petitioner No.1 along with petitioners 2 and 3 claim to have acquired the lands admeasuring Ac.3.00 cents in Sy.No.386-2, Ac.5.69 cents in Sy.No.386-5, Ac.3.00 cents in Sy.No.386-4 situated at Almuru village, Ananthapur Rural Mandal and District, from their father. After the demise of their father, they have partitioned the property in their respective shares and have been in possession and enjoyment of the same. Their names have been mutated in the revenue records and pattadar pass books are also issued in their favour. They intended to sell the said lands and approached the 4th respondent for registration of the documents presented by them. The 4th respondent is said to have insisted that the petitioners must obtain ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the revenue authorities. The petitioners assert that originally the land was assigned in favour of one Uppara Ramappa in the year 1933 and since then, several sale transactions have taken place. Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that since the subject lands were assigned in the year 1933 and that there was no condition for prohibition of alienation at the time of its 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 petitioners in respect of the lands mentioned above and process the same for registration 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
