THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO Writ Petition No. 11424 of 2011 --- This writ petition has been filed complaining that the Sub-Registrar, Anantapur Rural Mandal, Anantapur District, is not justified in insisting for `No Objection Certificate’ from the Tahsildar, Anantapur Rural Mandal, Anantapur District for the purpose of registering the document of sale presented by them concerning certain lands on the ground that they are assigned lands. The Tahsildar, Anantapur Rural Mandal has drawn a detailed report and submitted the same to Revenue Divisional Officer, Anantapur on 30.6.2009 in which it was specifically recorded that one Sri Byalla Gampanna was assigned land to a patta granted on 30.9.1935 and the said Gampanna is the predecessor in interest of the writ petitioners. Prior to the State Government announcing their policy decision through their GO Ms No. 18.6.1954, there is no prohibition against any alienations, contained in the grant of assignment. In the instant case, it is revealed that the ancestors of the petitioners have been assigned this land as on 30.9.1935 and hence there cannot be any prohibition of alienation and hence the 4th respondent – Sub Registrar is not justified in calling for the `No Objection Certificate’ from the Tahsildar, Anantapur, for entertaining and registering the document concerning sale of property only on the ground that it is an assigned land. Therefore, the 4th respondent is directed to entertain and deal with the document in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of. No costs. --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J knk 21st April 2011
