THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5243 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner purchased an extent of Ac.1.79 cents of land in Survey No.116/1 of Madhurawada Village, Visakhapatnam District from Smt.Kolli Ademma on 20.10.2003. Thereafter, the entries were made in favour of the petitioner in the revenue records. The first respondent issued G.O.Ms.No.856 Revenue (Registration-I) Department, dated 10.07.2006, in exercise of the powers under Section 21-A of the Registration Act, 1908, prohibiting registration of certain lands in Visakhapatnam District. The land in survey No.116/1 of Madhurawada Village was also included therein. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the same. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioner has placed before this Court the copies of several records, which are to the effect that its vendor was granted ryotwari patta under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) Inams (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1956 (for short ‘the Act’). On the basis of the entries made in the revenue records to the effect that the land is part of the assessed waste dry, it was included in the notification. The respondents, obviously, were not aware of the fact that the vendor of the petitioner was granted ryotwari patta under the Act. Whatever be the entries in the revenue records, the proceedings under the Act cannot be ignored. Inclusion of the patta land under a notification issued under Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908 is totally untenable. On this short ground, the writ petition is allowed and the land in Survey No.116/1 of Madhurawada Village, Visakhapatnam District shall stand deleted from G.O.Ms.No.856, dated 10.07.2006. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:24.02.2009 kdl
