THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.32839 of 2010 ORDER: Petitioner Nos.1 and 2 claim that they are the owners of the land in Survey Nos.680 and 682 of Matlivaripalle Revenue Village, Kurabalakota Mandal, Chittoor District. In the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, they have traced the source of title and stated that till recently, parts of the said land were sold and the documents in relation thereto were admitted to registration by respondent No.4. With a view to sell some parts of the land in the said survey numbers in favour of petitioner No.3, petitioner Nos.1 and 2 submitted an application to respondent No.4 with a request to furnish the market value. However, through proceedings, dated 02.09.2010, respondent No.4 informed petitioner Nos.1 and 2 that the lands are classified as D.K.T. and thereby, indicated that the documents in relation thereto, cannot be admitted to registration. Petitioner No.1 and 2 contend that quite large number of documents in relation to the same land were admitted to registration by respondent No.4 and there is absolutely no justification for denying such facility to them. They also placed reliance upon the report, dated 12.05.2009, submitted by the Tahsildar, respondent No.3 herein, to the District Collector, respondent No.1 herein. It is to the effect that the lands in survey Nos.680 and 682 are settlement and patta lands and not D.K.T. lands. The petitioners feel aggrieved by the communication, dated 02.09.2010, issued by respondent No.4. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The Revenue Department maintains the records and it is they, who certify the classification of the land. Obviously, when there was some ambiguity as to the classification of the lands in Survey Nos.680 and 682, respondent No.3 has undertaken verification of the records and through communication, dated 12.05.2009, he informed respondent No.1 that the lands are not D.K.T. and that they are settlement lands according to the revenue records. The Sub-Registrars are furnished with the particulars of the lands within their area of operation, together with the classification. The information furnished to them no doubt would be on the basis of the revenue records. If there exists any discrepancy between the records maintained by the Sub-Registrar on the one hand and the revenue authorities on the other, necessary correction has to be undertaken by treating the entries in the revenue records as the basis. Petitioner Nos.1 and 2 have placed before this Court, the copies of certain documents pertaining to parts of the same survey number and were registered by respondent No.4. Respondent No.4 is not expected to take such extreme postures. Even now, the discrepancy if any can be rectified. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that respondent No.4 shall take the communication, dated 12.05.2009, addressed by respondent No.3 to respondent No.1 into account and cause modification of the classification in his records, duly following the prescribed procedure. The exercise in this regard shall be completed within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If any further information is needed for this purpose, respondent No.4 can seek the same from petitioner Nos.1 and 2 and respondent No.3. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 28.12.2010. kdl
