THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.5130 of 2011 ORDER: Questioning the action of the second respondent in not registering the document presented by the petitioner in respect of lands covered by Sy.Nos.84/2 measuring Ac.0-59 cents and Sy.No.85/2c measuring Ac.0-63 cents of Tirupathi village and Urban Mandal, on the ground that the petitioner should obtain a No Objection Certificate from the Endowments Department, the present writ petition is filed. The aforementioned lands originally belong to one Sri Uttaradhi Vaishnavi Math. The Math alienated the same in favour of tenant Sri M. Venkatarami Reddy on 28-09-1989. Thereafter the said lands were sold to the vendor of the petitioner Sri K. Naghabhushana Reddy on 18-06-1990. The petitioner purchased the aforementioned lands on 23-12-1994 under a registered sale deed bearing document No.4880/94 dated 23-12-1994. The petitioner presented the document to the second respondent for its registration. However, the same was refused on the ground that the petitioner should obtain a No Objection Certificate from the Endowments Department. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that No Objection Certificate from the Endowments Department is not required in view of the fact that the lands covered by the aforementioned survey numbers have not been notified under Section 22-A (2) of the Registration Act, 1908. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has placed reliance on the judgments of this Court in W.P.No.2094 of 2011 and 1535 of 2011, wherein it was held that unless a notification is issued by the State Government under Section 22-A (2) of the Registration Act, 1908, it would not be open to the registration authorities to refuse to entertain documents for the purpose of registration. In the present case as the lands sold by the Endowments Department have not been notified under Section 22-A (2) of the Registration Act, 1908, the petitioner would not be required to obtain No Objection Certificate from the Endowments Department. In view of the above, this writ petition is allowed and directions are issued to the second respondent to entertain the documents presented by the petitioner and process the same, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________________ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA March 21, 2011 Note: Furnish C.C. in one week.
