THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.3539 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner asserts that originally the land admeasuring Ac.6.55 cents in Sy.No.119-6 situated at Rachanapalli village, Ananthapur Mandal and District, was assigned in favour of one Talari Ramu Gani Gari Jarutla Gadu prior to 1930 and thereafter several sale transactions have taken place. He intended to purchase the said land and approached the 4th respondent for registration of the document presented by him. The 4th respondent is said to have insisted that the petitioner must obtain ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the revenue authorities. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since the subject land was originally assigned prior to 1930 and that there was no condition for prohibition of alienation of the subject land at the time of assignment made prior to 1930, 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 document that is presented by the petitioner in respect of the land 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
