HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 31145 OF 20 10. DATED 14th March, 2011 BETWEEN Varam Gangadevi …Petitioner And The District Collector, Kadapa District, Kadapa District ….Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 31145 of 2010 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed aggrieved by the action of the respondents 1 to 3 in not entertaining the document submitted by the petitioner for registration in respect of the land in Sy.No. 260, admeasuring Ac.1.08 cents situated in Utukuru, Kadapa district. The main ground on which the registration was refused is that the subject land belongs to Government and hence there is prohibition of registration of the subject land. The learned Counsel for the petitioner placed reliance on the judgment of this Court in Writ Petition No. 11332 of 2010, dated 8.09.2010, wherein, this Court following the earlier judgment of this Court in Writ Petition No. 6016 of 2010 dated 2.7.2010 held that mere classification of the land and the entry in the revenue records that it belongs to Government does not determine the title and the Registrar cannot ignore ownership of the party by giving weight to mere entries in the revenue records. Further, it is was held that unless the notification is issued in accordance with Section 22-A of the Registration Act prohibiting registration of the properties, the Registrar cannot decline registration of documents on the mere communication issued by the revenue officials. In the case on hand, there is no notification issued in accordance with Section 22-A of the Registration Act prohibiting registration of the subject land. The learned Counsel for the respondents does not dispute the same. After hearing the learned Counsel for the petitioner and following the judgments of this Court supra, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the third respondent to receive the document submitted by the petitioner in respect of the subject land and process the same for registration, in accordance with law. Respondents 1 and 2 are however free to assert their title in appropriate Court of law as registration of the document by itself would not confer title on the purchasers. There shall be no order as to costs. ------------------------------------ -- JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA Dated 14th March, 2011 Msnro
