HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.4708 of 2011 Date: March 07, 2011 Between: A. Amarnath Reddy … Petitioner And 1. The District Collector, Chittoor, Chittoor District & 3 others. … Respondents * * * HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.4708 of 2011 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner is that the Sub-Registrar, Piler, Chittoor District, the 4th respondent herein, is not issuing the market value certificate for his land admeasuring Ac.2.69 ½ cents in Sy.No.32 of Bandakrindapalle village, Rompicherla Mandal, Chittoor District. He seeks a direction to the 4th respondent to issue the said certificate and entertain and process for registration the sale deeds executed by the petitioner in respect of the subject land without insisting upon a No Objection Certificate from the Revenue authorities. 2. The issue is squarely covered by my order dated 02.7.2010 passed in W.P. No.6016 of 2010. 3. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue states that no notification under Section 22-A(2) of the Registration Act, 1908 has been issued in respect of the subject land. He further states that the subject land does not partake the nature of an assigned land attracting the provisions of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977. It is his case that the Revenue authorities claimed the subject land to be government land based on revenue records. 4. Unless the government issues a notification under Section 22- A(2) of the Registration Act, 1908, it would not be open to the Revenue authorities to restrain the Registration authorities from registering documents in respect of land claimed by the government to be its own on the basis of revenue records. Admittedly, there is no such notification in the present case. 5. There shall accordingly be a direction to the 4th respondent to furnish the market value certificate in respect of the subject land to the petitioner as per law and entertain and process for registration the documents presented by the petitioner in respect of the subject land in accordance with law without insisting upon a No Objection Certificate from the Revenue authorities. 6. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. No order as to costs. ___________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J Date: March 07, 2011. Note: Issue C.C. by one week. //B.O.// BSB
