DAVE, THE CHIEF JUSTICE And HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 7541 of 2008 ORDER : (Per Hon’ble The Chief Justice Sri Anil R.Dave) By virtue of this petition, the petitioners have prayed that respondent No.9 – The Sub-Registrar of Assurances, Patamata, Vijayawada be directed to follow the instructions given to him by the Vice-Chairman of Vijayawada Urban Development Authority. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners has submitted that certain persons, who are having agricultural lands, are selling their lands so that the purchasers can put up constructions on the lands purchased by them without taking permission from the concerned authorities for converting the lands to non-agricultural purpose. In our opinion, this petition requires to be dismissed for the reason that it is based on certain assumptions. The petitioners presume that the persons, who purchase the lands in question, would be putting up constructions on the lands so purchased, without obtaining necessary permission for putting up constructions. In our opinion, the petition is premature. If in future, without converting the land to non-agricultural land, if the purchasers of the lands start putting up constructions, it would be open to the petitioners to draw attention of the concerned authority. At this stage, the petition is premature, and is, therefore, dismissed. _________________ ANIL R. DAVE, CJ 15th April 2008 ___________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J ajr To: 1.
