THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION NO.6550 OF 2011 DATED: 15-3-2011 BETWEEN: G.JAYARAMI REDDY .. PETITIONER AND THE STATE OF A.P., REP, BY ITS DISTRICT COLLECTOR, KADAPA DISTRICT, KADAPA AND OTHERS .. RESPONDENTS THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION NO.6550 OF 2011 O R D E R: It is submitted by learned counsel for the parties that the subject matter of this writ petition is squarely covered by a judgment of this court in W.P.No.5579 of 2010, dated 23-06-2010. Following the same, this writ petition is allowed in terms of the judgment of this court in W.P.No.5579 of 2010, dated 23-6-2010, wherein it was held as under: “ In the light of the aforestated provision, the prohibition with regard to registration of documents in respect of Government lands arises out of the publication of a notification under clause (e). Admittedly, there is no notification under Section 22-A of the said Act in respect of Survey No.370/2 of Bollavaram village. In the absence of a prohibition relatable to law, it is not open to the revenue authorities to stall the registration of documents by the registration authorities on the basis of a mere communication based on revenue records. The classification of the subject land in Survey No.370/2 basing on such revenue records posing a bar to the entertainment for registration of the document presented by the petitioner cannot be countenanced. If the Government seeks to assert its title over the subject land contrary to the evidence manifested by the registered transactions dating back to 1942, it is for it to do so in a properly constituted proceeding before the appropriate forum. By mere recourse to an entry in the revenue records, the Government cannot seek to wipe out the events borne out by record and claim title. The Writ Petition is accordingly allowed holding that the classification of the land in Survey No.370/2 of Bollavaram Village, Choutapalle Panchayat, Proddatur Sub-Division, Kadapa District, to the extent of the 15 cents held by the petitioner, as Government land on the basis of an entry in the revenue records alone is unsustainable in law. The direction of respondent 3 under the letter dated 05.12.2009 to obtain clearance from the revenue authorities is equally without legal basis. There shall be a consequential direction to the Joint Sub- Registrar-I, Proddatur village, Kadapa District, to entertain the document presented by the petitioner in respect of the said land, subject to compliance with necessary formalities, and register the same in accordance with law. No costs.” Registry to place a copy of the order in W.P.No.5579 of 2010, dated 23-6- 2010 along with this order. No costs. Dated: 15th March, 2011.
