When he intended to sell the property to third parties, he approached the 4th respondent to gather necessary particulars, but the 4th respondent is said to have insisted that the petitioner must obtain ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the revenue authorities. It is in this context, the petitioner approached the 1st respondent-District Collector with an application. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The condition prohibiting alienation of the assigned lands was incorporated in the year 1958 and in all the assignments made earlier thereto, the said condition was not incorporated. Therefore, the prohibition contained under Section 22-A of the Registration Act or Sections 3 and 5 of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, does not operate vis-à-vis the lands that were assigned earlier to 1958. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 4th respondent-Sub-Registrar-I to entertain and process the documents that are presented by the petitioner in respect of the land mentioned above, without insisting on submission of ‘No Objection Certificate’ from respondent Nos.1 to 3. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J 18.03.2011 bcj
