THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO.21189 OF 2011 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed questioning the action of the 4th respondent in not receiving the documents presented by the petitioner in respect of lands admeasuring Ac.7-79 cents out of Ac.8-81 cents in Sy.No.291, and Ac.1-75 cents in Sy.No.292, situated at Agraharam village, Garladenne Mandal, Anantapur District as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 4th respondent to register the documents forthwith without insisting on a “no objection certificate” from the revenue authorities. A counter affidavit is filed on behalf of respondents 1 to 3 wherein it is stated that Sy.No.291 was sub-divided as 291/1 for an extent of Ac.7-97 cents, and Sy.No.291/2 for an extent of 0-84 cents; the said extent of 0-84 cents in Sy.No.291/2 was acquired for the purpose of the National Highway, the said Highway passed through Sy.No.291/2; the said property vested in late P.Narasimha Reddy who executed a gift deed in favour of his elder son P.Ravindra Reddy for an extent of Ac.7-00; the remaining extent of Ac.3-56 cents vested with Smt.P.Nagarathnamma w/o Sri P.Dilip Reddy; subsequently P.Narasimha Reddy executed a will, through registered document No.262/2006 dated 29.11.2006, for the entire extent of Ac.10-56 cents in favour of Sri P.Yogeswara Reddy, and, basing on this document, an extent of Ac.7-97 cents in Sy.No.291 out of Ac.8-81 cents and Ac.1-75 cents in Sy.No.292 was sold to the petitioner; the petitioner had applied for grant of pattadar pass books and title deeds; and the suit in O.S.No.378 of 2008 is pending. It is further stated that no notification under Section 22-A of the Registration Act has been issued and, except for the extent of Ac.0-84 cents acquired for the purpose of the National Highway, the remaining extent of land in Sy.No.291 is private land. Sri G.Nageswara Rao, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, would submit that it would suffice if this Court were to direct the 4th respondent to receive the documents, verify whether the land sought to be transferred formed part of the land acquired for the purpose of the National Highway or not; and, if it did not form part of the land acquired for the National Highway, to register the documents. The Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 4th respondent to receive the documents in question; verify whether any part of the land sought to be alienated forms part of the 0-84 cents of land acquired for the National Highway; and, if it is not, to consider registering the said documents in accordance with law within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is made clear that, in the light of specific averments made in the counter affidavit filed before this Court by respondents 1 to 3, the 4th respondent shall not, while considering the petitioner’s request for registration, insist on production of a ‘no objection certificate’ from the revenue authorities. No order as to costs. __________ 3-11-2011 asp
