The learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance on a judgment of this Court in W.P.No. 21824 of 1997 decided on 09-08-2009, wherein it was held that by the date of A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short, “the Act”) came into force, the petitioners therein and their ancestors were in possession of the subject lands for more than 30 years, and therefore, the petitioners therein have perfected their title even by adverse possession and the provisions of the Act are not applicable to the case of the petitioners therein. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that some of the subject lands in the present case were the subject lands of Writ Petition No.21824 of 1997 and as the petitioner has purchased the subject lands from the writ petitioners of the aforementioned Writ Petition No.21824 of 1997 and their legal representatives, the respondents refused to register the sale deeds and release the same in favour of the petitioner. After hearing the counsel for the petitioner, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to receive the documents submitted by the petitioner and process the same, for registration, in accordance with law and without reference to proceedings in Lr.No.198/2010, dt.18- 08-2010. No order as to costs. Date: 21-02-2011. ______________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J INL/VV
