Respondents filed a detailed counter-affidavit stating that the lands covered by the said survey number are classified as assigned lands and that as per Section 5 of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (Act 9 of 1977), the registration of assigned lands is prohibited. Since the only grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents are not receiving the sale deeds for registration, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to receive the sale deeds presented by the petitioners for registration and pass appropriate orders i.e., either register or refuse registration by passing a reasoned order. No costs. ___________________ 19-04-2005. Lrkm. To 1. The Sub Registrar, Mangalagiri, Guntur district, 2. The District Registrar of Assurances, Guntur District, Guntur. 3.
