THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 11678 OF 2011 O R D E R: This Writ Petition has been instituted complaining of the action of the 3rd respondent Sub-Registrar, Anantapur (Rural), in not entertaining and registering the sale deed concerning land of an extent of Ac.0.05 cents earmarked as Plot No. 18 in Survey No. 23-1C of Kakkalapalli Village, Rudrampet Gram Panchayat, Anantapur Rural Mandal, Anantapur District, on the ground that the sale deed is not accompanied by a ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the revenue department. Lands, which were assigned in favour of eligible persons prior to the State Government passing orders through their G.O.Ms.No. 1142 in the year 1954, did not contain any prohibition against their alienations. They were also heritable and alienable. Only such of those lands, which were assigned after the aforementioned policy decision was taken in the year 1954, are incapable of being alienated without obtaining the prior permission of the revenue establishment. It is brought out that land falling in Survey No. 23-1C was assigned approximately in the year 1927. Therefore, there could not have been any objection with regard to registering a sale deed presented concerning the land falling in Survey No. 23-1C of Kakkalapalli Village. Therefore, the 3rd respondent is directed to entertain and receive the sale deed presented by the writ petitioner concerning plot No. 18 situate in Survey No. 23-1C of Kakkalapalli Village, Rudrampet Gram Panchayat, Anantapur Rural Mandal, Anantapur District, without insisting the same to be accompanied by a ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the revenue department. However, the Sub-Registrar will process the document strictly in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders thereon. With this, the Writ Petition stands disposed of at the admission stage, after hearing the learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Andhra and Rayalaseema). No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 25th April 2011 ksld
