THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.4900 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner assails the action of the Sub-Registrar (Rural), Anantapur, in insisting upon a “No Objection Certificate” for the purpose of processing her document for registration. The said document pertains to separate plots in Sy.No.281 of Govindampalli Panchayat, Bukkaraya Samudram Mandal, Anantapur District. According to the Tahsildar, Bukkaraya Samudram Mandal, Anantapur District, the land in Sy.No.281 of Govindampalli village is classified as Government land in the revenue records. As per the Diglot, these lands are shown to be government lands. These facts are evident from the letter dated 24.10.2008 addressed by the District Collector, Anantapur, to the Sub-Registrar (Rural), Anantapur. The District Collector, having referred to the information gathered from the Tahsildar, Bukkaraya Samudram Mandal, went on to state that sale transactions took place in respect of the subject land as long back as in the year 1939 itself. That being so, the Collector, Anantapur, requested the Sub-Registrar (Rural), Anantapur, to take necessary further action for registration of the lands in Sy.No.281 of Govindampalli village, Bukkaraya Samudram Mandal, Anantapur District. In spite of these instructions having been issued by the District Collector, it appears that the Sub-Registrar (Rural), Anantapur, is again insisting upon a similar certification in the case of the petitioner, though her land also falls in Sy.No.281 of Govindampalli village, Bukkaraya Samudram Mandal, Anantapur District. Once the revenue authorities themselves conceded that though the lands were shown to be assigned lands in the records, the sale transactions in relation thereto date back to the year 1939, there can be no question of any prohibition in respect of alienation attaching to the assignment, even if there had been such assignment prior to the year 1939. The District Collector, Anantapur, has already voiced the lack of objection on the part of the revenue authorities insofar as registration of documents in respect of the lands in Sy.No.281 of Govindampalli village is concerned. That being so, there shall be a direction to the Sub- Registrar (Rural), Anantapur, to entertain the document presented by the petitioner in respect of plot Nos.53, 54 and 55 in Sy.No.281 of Govindampalli village, Bukkaraya Samudram Mandal, Anantapur District, without insisting upon a ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the revenue authorities and process and register the same in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. No order as to costs. _______________ SANJAY KUMAR,J 01.03.2011 Note: Issue CC in two days B/o v v
