THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16658 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the prayer is as under: “For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue an appropriate Writ, Order or Direction, particularly, one in the nature of a WRIT OF MANDAMUS, ..directing the respondents to issue ‘No Objection Certificate’ in favour of the petitioner in regarding to Grant bearing Proceedings No.RCA.1/4886/778, dated 30.07.1978 (=D-Form Patta bearing R.Dis.No.1054/96 dated 05.08.1996) issued by the 3rd respondent for Ac.1.63 in Sy.No.530 of Udamalpuram Village, Nandyal, Kurnool District, by declaring that Condition No.4 put in 1978 Grant stands repealed in view of receipt of full consideration by the Authorities or by relaxing Condition Nos.1 and 4 of the 1978-Grant and Condition No.1 of 1996 D-Form Patta; direct the respondents to relax Condition No.4 of Grant vide Proceedings No.RCA1/4886/778, dated 30.05.1978 and Condition No.1 in D- Form Patta bearing R.Dis.No.1054/96, dated 05.08.1996 issued by the 3rd respondent.” Even according to the petitioner, the land admeasuring Ac.1.63 cents covered by Survey No.530 of Udumalpuram Village, Nandyal Mandal, Kurnool District, was acquired by him pursuant to the D-Form patta granted to him in 1996 by the respondents on the ground that he is a landless poor person provided with a condition of non-alienation. Condition No.1 of the patta reads as under: “The land granted has to be cultivated inheritably but shall not be transferred in any manner.” Though it is stated that an amount of Rs.189/- is quoted, the same cannot be equated to the market value so as to plead that he has purchased the land for the market value. When the grant itself is subject to the condition of non-alienation, the said assigned land cannot be permitted to be sold by granting no objection. Though the learned counsel for the petitioner relied on the decision in the case of DHARMA REDDY v. SUB-COLLECTOR, BODHAN AND OTHERS [1] , the same cannot be made applicable to the facts of the case on hand as much as the very grant of assignment to the petitioner was in the year 1996. The learned counsel further relied on the decision in the case of P.KRISHNA AND OTHERS v. GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH AND OTHERS [2] . This would not support the case of the petitioner for the relief sought for by him in the present writ petition. Any direction for grant of no objection as prayed for will run contrary to the scheme and objectives of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Land (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977. In that view of the matter, merely on the ground that the land value is increased, the petitioner cannot be allowed to sell the same, which is a conditional grant. The writ petition is devoid of merit and accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 16th JULY, 2010. kvni [1] 1988(2) ALT 301 [2] 2002 (3) ALD 595
