THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.3693 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners claim to be the absolute owners and possessors of Plot No.6 admeasuring the land to an extent of Ac.0.10 cents in Sy.No.49-1 and Ac.0.10 cents in Sy.No.49-2 situated at Kakkalapalli village, Ananthapur Mandal and District, having purchased the same for valid sale consideration from their vendors K.Jahangir Basha and Fatima Bee. They intended to sell the said lands and approached the 4th respondent for registration of the documents presented by them. The 4th respondent is said to have insisted that the petitioners must obtain ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the revenue authorities. The petitioners assert that the land was originally assigned prior to 1956. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that since the land was assigned prior to 1956 and that there was no condition for prohibition of alienation of the subject land at the time of assignment in 1956, there is no necessity of obtaining ‘No Objection Certificate’. Learned counsel relied on the orders passed by this Court in W.P.No.7254 of 2009 dated 07.04.2009. The condition prohibiting alienation of the assigned lands was incorporated in the year 1958 and in all the assignments made earlier thereto, the said condition was not incorporated. Therefore, the prohibition contained under Section 22-A of the Registration Act or Sections 3 and 5 of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, does not operate vis-à-vis the lands that were assigned earlier to 1958. In view of the above and following the order dated 07.04.2009 passed in W.P.No.7254 of 2009, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 4th respondent to receive the documents that are presented by the petitioners and process the same for registration in respect of the lands mentioned above, without insisting on submission of ‘No Objection Certification’ from Respondents 1 to 3. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA,J 18.02.2011 v v
