THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.26270 OF 2011 ORDER: The relief sought for in this Writ Petition is to declare the action of the respondents in making corrections in the Survey and Settlement Register, in respect of Survey No.135/5 of Kurmannapalem Village, Gajuwaka Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, with regards the nature of the property from zirayathi wet land to banjar land, and deleting the name of the petitioner’s mother, as arbitrary and illegal. The petitioner seeks a consequential direction to the respondents to issue a certificate confirming that the land in Survey No.135/5 is zirayathi wet land and is owned by the petitioner’s mother, and to permit her to sell the land by deleting it from the category of lands covered by Section 22-A of the Indian Registration Act. While several contentions are urged by the Learned Counsel for the petitioner, she would submit that, since a representation has already been made to the third respondent, it would suffice if this Court were to direct the third respondent to consider the petitioner’s representation in accordance with law. Since Section 22-A of the Registration Act relates to prohibition of registration of certain documents, including land owned by the State Government, I consider it appropriate to permit the petitioner to submit a representation to the District Collector, who shall consider the same in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders thereupon. In case the petitioner submits the representation to the first respondent within two weeks from today, the first respondent shall consider the same in accordance with law and pass orders thereupon within two months thereafter. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the dispute, or regarding the latches of the petitioner in invoking its jurisdiction, as these matters can also be examined by the District Collector on the representation being filed by the petitioner. The Writ Petition stands disposed of accordingly. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J September 27, 2011 MD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.26270 OF 2011 September 27, 2011 MD
