THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 3317 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is an ex-serviceman. While in service, he was assigned an extent of Ac.1.98 cents of land in R.S.No.813/4 of Nidumolu Village, Movva Mandal, Krishna District, vide proceedings dated 25.07.1980 of the then Tahsildar, Movva Mandal, 2nd respondent herein. He intends to sell that land. Apprehending that the sale deed presented by him may not be registered, by invoking Section 22-A of the Registration Act (for short ‘the Act’), the petitioner approached the Joint Collector, Krishna, 1st respondent herein, with a representation, dated 26.05.2008 requesting him to accord permission to sell the land. His grievance is that no permission is accorded so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioner apprehended that the sale deed presented by him may not be registered, in view of the bar contained under Section 22-A of the Act. It is no doubt true that the land assigned to him is covered by Section 22-A of the Act. However in view of the orders issued by the Government in G.O.Ms.No.117, dated 11.11.1993 the bar does not operate. The Government permitted the ex- servicemen to sell the assigned lands on expiry of ten years from the date of assignment. Therefore, it is not at all necessary for the petitioner to obtain any permission from the 1st respondent, to sell the land. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 20.02.2009 Note: Issue C.C. in one week. (B/o) JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 3317 of 2009 Date: 20.02.2009 JSU
