THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 15359 of 2009 Dated: 08.02.2011 Between: T.Mohanachari andanother ..... PETITIONERS AND The District Collector and others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 15359 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners are aggrieved by the letter dated 27.10.2007 issued by the 1st respondent vide which the land comprised in survey No.1966/1, measuring Ac.2.22 cents of Doddipalli Village, Piler Mandal, Chittoor District has been classified as Government land. The petitioners has prayed that the aforementioned letter be quashed and directions be issued to the respondents to entertain the documents presented by the petitioners for the purpose of registration and register the same. Briefly the facts of the case are that: The land measuring Ac.3.22 cents situated in Piler Mandal was purchased by the father of the petitioners, out of which, Ac.1.00 was sold to K.Hafizulla and Shaik Suleman on 27.04.2005. The remaining land of Ac.2.22 cents came to the share of the petitioners after the death of the petitioners’ father. The petitioners filed an application before the 4th respondent to receive the documents and register the same. However, the same was refused on the ground that the aforementioned lands have been classified as Government lands vide letter dated 27.10.2007 issued by the District Collector, Chittoor District. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that an extent of Ac.9.44 cents situated in survey No.1966/1 of the same village was assigned in favour of Attar Abdul Khadar @ Khadu Saheb and in Writ Petition No. 28393 of 2007 the Government took stand that the aforementioned lands are Government lands. But this Court allowed the Writ Petition No.28393 of 2007 and quashed the letter dated 27.10.2007 and directed the respondents to receive the documents and register the sale deeds presented by the petitioners. Learned counsel submits that the present case is similar to the aforementioned writ petition because in this case also the lands are comprised in survey No.1966/1, measuring Ac.2.22 cents. The learned counsel for the respondents submits that the petitioners have not presented any documents before the 4th respondent and hence, the 4th respondent obviously could not register the sale deeds. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the considered opinion that the present writ petition is squarely covered by the decision in Writ Petition No. 28393 of 2007 decided on 16.02.2009 and accordingly, the Writ Petition is allowed and the respondents are directed to receive the documents, which may be submitted by the petitioners and register the same in accordance with law. No costs. _____________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J Date: 08.02.2011 Ivd/Bsb
