Sastry Counsel for the Respondent Nos. 1 and 2 : A.G.P. for Revenue The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION Nos.28209, 28210, 28211, 28212 and 28213 of 2010 Common Order: These batch of writ petitions have been filed feeling aggrieved by the action of respondent No.1 in not receiving and registering the sale deeds. At the hearing, it is not disputed by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue that the issue raised in these writ petitions is squarely covered by the Division Bench Judgment of this Court in Sub-Registrar, Srikalahasti, Chittoor vs. K. Guravaiah and others ([1]), wherein it was held that an assigned land which was sold in public auction in execution of recovery of debt by a cooperative society can be sold by the purchaser and that the prohibition against alienation contained in the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, does not apply to such sale transactions. In view of the above authoritative pronouncement of the Division Bench and having regard to the admitted fact that the properties were purchased by the petitioners in public auction held for recovery of debt by cooperative societies, these writ petitions deserve to be allowed. Accordingly, these writ petitions are allowed. Respondent No.1 is directed to receive and register the documents presented by the petitioners, subject to the petitioners complying with the provisions of the Registration Act, 1908 and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. As a sequel to disposal of main petitions, W.P.M.P. Nos.35975, 35976, 35977, 35978 and 35979 of 2010 are disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.
