THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 4883 of 2011 Date: 01st March, 2011 Between: C. Radha … Petitioner A n d The District Collector and 3 others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 4883 of 2011 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner is that the Sub-Registrar, Ananthapur Rural, Ananthapur District, was not entertaining her document for registration in respect of an extent of land admeasuring Ac.0.63 cents in Survey No.168-2D4 of Kakkalapalli Village, Ananthapur Mandal and District, for registration. 2. Admittedly, the petitioner purchased the land from an ex- serviceman who was assigned the subject land as long back as in the year 1952. The condition prohibiting alienation of assigned lands was incorporated much later in the year 1954. Therefore, assignments made prior thereto would not be coupled with such a prohibition. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue fairly states that even if such prohibition was made, in the case of ex-servicemen the same would be restricted to a period of ten years. 3. Viewed from any angle, the refusal of the registering authority for entertaining the petitioner’s document on the basis of it being an assigned land, does not stand to reason. 4. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the Sub-Registrar, Ananthapur Rural, Ananthapur District, to entertain and process the petitioner’s documents for registration without insisting upon production of a ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the revenue authorities and without treating the subject land as assigned land. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR 01st March, 2011 Note: Issue C.C. within 4 days B/o Ksm / Vv
