THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 9661 OF 2011 O R D E R: The petitioners claim that they have purchased land of an extent of Ac.2.40 cents situate in Survey No. 23/1C of Kakkalapalli Village, Anantapur Rural, Anantapur District and when they sought to present the document for registration purpose, an objection was raised for registering the same as it was not accompanied by a ‘No Objection Certificate” from the revenue establishment. Since the ‘No Objection Certificate’ was not forthcoming so easily, they filed this Writ Petition. It is stated by the learned counsel for the writ petitioners that with regard to a similar sale transaction involving land situate in same Survey No. 23/1C of the same village, while dealing with Writ Petition No. 31688 of 2010, this Court had an occasion to notice the letters dated 04.10.1995 and 13.02.2009 addressed by the Mandal Revenue Officer, Anantapur and the District Collector, Anantapur to the Sub- Registrar. From those letters, it was deduced by this Court that the land in Survey No. 23/1 comprising Ac.49.01 cents was declared as assessed government waste land and it was also assigned somewhere in the years 1927-28, which is much prior to the policy decision announced by the State Government through their G.O.Ms.No. 1142 in the year 1954 imposing prohibition against alienation of assigned lands. Since the lands were assigned during the years 1927-28, there is no prohibition against alienation of such lands. Since the land with which the petitioners herein are concerned is forming part of the same chunk and which was also said to be an assigned land in the year 1928, the respondents may not insist upon the petitioners to produce the “No Objection Certificate” for the purpose of registration of sale transaction of land situate in Survey No. 23/1C of Kakkalapalli Village, Anantapur District. With this, the Writ Petition stands disposed of at this stage with the consent of the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (AA). ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 11th April 2011 ksld
