Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the subject- matter of this writ petition is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in W.P.No.5338 of 2010, dt.02.07.2010, the operative portion of which reads as under: “The writ petition is accordingly allowed holding that there is no legal basis for the registration authorities in insisting upon a “No Objection Certificate” from the revenue authorities as a condition precedent for entertaining any document for registration once the prohibition under Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908 does not come into operation. It is not open to the registration authorities to treat any particular land as Government land basing on the mere communication to that effect by the revenue authorities which, in turn, is based on mere entries in the revenue records. There shall be a consequential direction to the Sub- Registrar, Rayachoty, Kadapa District, respondent 3, to entertain the documents presented by the petitioners in respect of their lands in Survey No.545/1 of Rayachoty Sub-Division, Kadapa District and process the same for registration in accordance with law. No costs.” Learned counsel for the respondents does not dispute the aforementioned legal position. Following the aforesaid judgment, this writ petition is allowed observing that it is not open to the registration authorities to treat any particular land as Government land basing on the mere communication to that effect by the revenue authorities which, in turn, is based on mere entries in the revenue records. There shall be a consequential direction to the Joint Sub-Registrar-I, Proddatur, Kadapa District - respondent No.3 to entertain the documents presented by the petitioners in respect of their lands admeasuring Acs.3.00 cents in survey No.518/2 of Kothapalli Village, Proaddatur Mandal, Kadapa District, and process the same for registration in accordance with law.
