THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.5028 OF 2011 DATED 1ST MARCH, 2011 BETWEEN R.Prameela …Petitioner And The State of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its District Collector, Kadapa District and others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.5028 OF 2011 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner is with regard to the refusal by the Sub-Registrar (Urban), Kadapa City and Mandal, Kadapa District, to entertain and register her sale deed pertaining to the land in Survey Nos.168/1A and 168/1B of Kolumulapally Village, C.K.Dinne Mandal, Kadapa District. The petitioner claims to have purchased the said land in a public auction conducted by the District Co-operative Central Bank Limited, Kadapa, pursuant to the proceedings in E.P.No.17/2004-2005. Admittedly, the land was originally assigned and was subjected to mortgage by the assignee when he obtained a loan from the District Co-operative Central Bank Limited, Kadapa. As it was originally an assigned land, the registration authorities are refusing to entertain the document submitted by the petitioner in respect of the said land. The issue is no longer res integra in view of the Judgment of this Court in THE SUB-REGISTRAR, SRIKALAHASTI, CHITTOOR DISTRICT v. K.GURAVAIAH[1], wherein a Division Bench held that in view of Section 6 of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, assigned land once mortgaged and sold in a public auction ceases to be so for the purposes of the prohibition envisaged under the said Act. That being so, the registration authorities cannot refuse to entertain the document in respect of the said land merely because the land is shown to be assigned land originally. The Sub-Registrar (Urban), Kadapa City and Mandal, Kadapa District, is accordingly directed to entertain the petitioner’s document in respect of the land in Survey Nos.168/1A and 168/1B of Kolumulapally Village, C.K.Dinne Mandal, Kadapa District, and process the same for registration in accordance with law. The Writ Petition is disposed of with the above direction. No order as to costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 1ST MARCH, 2011. VGSR/PGS [1] 2009 (2) ALD 250 (DB)
