THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 10504 OF 2011 O R D E R: Heard learned Government Pleader for Revenue for the respondents. The writ petitioner submits that his grandfather one Sri Kasim Saheb purchased a residential house bearing Door No. 3/239 with appurtenant open land, situate in R.S.No. 393/1, Ward No. 3 of Gudur Village. Sri Kasim Saheb purchased this property from Smt. Saheb Bibi, W/o Mohd. Ibrahim under a registered sale deed, dated 24.03.1954, bearing No. 864/1954. The vendor of Sri Kasim Saheb, Smt. Saheb Bibi is said to have purchased property under a registered sale deed dated 29.04.1904 from Sri Gajula Subbaiah and others. It is therefore, manifestly clear that the property in question has been owned and possessed by private individuals for more than 100 years. Therefore, the 2nd respondent Sub-Registrar cannot decline to entertain any document of sale presented by the writ petitioner herein only on the ground that land in Survey No. 393/1 of Guduru Village is an assigned land. It will be appropriate to notice that lands, which were assigned prior to 1954, are heritable and also alienable, inasmuch as there was no restriction imposed in those grants, prohibiting the alienations of such assigned lands. In that view of the matter, this Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the 2nd respondent to entertain any such document presented by the writ petitioner for the purpose of registration and to deal with the same in accordance with law, but shall not decline to register the same only on the ground that the land in Survey No. 393/1 of Guduru Village is an assigned land. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 18th April 2011 ksld
