THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.8473 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner’s husband purchased the land in Survey No.121 admeasuring Ac.13-85 cents of Golla village, Kalyandurg mandal, Ananthapur mandal and District, through a registered sale deed and she intended to sell the property to the proposed vendors. For that purpose, she approached the 4th respondent to gather necessary particulars. 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 1st respondent with an application. On a report called for by the 1st respondent, the third respondent informed that the land is being enjoyed as a patta since 1933 and the entries disclosed that it was assigned earlier thereof. Petitioner states that once the land is being enjoyed as patta from the year 1933, there is no necessity of issuing N.O.C. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. 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-a-vis the lands that were assigned earlier to 1958. Even from a perusal of the proceedings dated 05-02-2011, issued by the third respondent, it is clear that the names of various persons are mentioned as pattedars for the lands since 1933. Further, assuming that it was assigned much earlier thereto, there does not exist any condition prohibiting transfer. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 4th respondent to entertain and process the documents that are presented by the petitioner in respect of the land mentioned above, without insisting on submission of ‘No Objection Certification’ from Respondents 1 to 3. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________________ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA March 31, 2011 Pn THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.8473 of 2011 March 31, 2011 Pn
