THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.17973 of 2007 Date:22.08.2007 Between: G.Subba Rao …… PETITIONER AND The Sub-Registrar of Assurances and another. ……. RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the owner of Ac.0.05 cents of land in Sy.No.986 of North Addanki Revenue Village, Addanki Mandal, Prakasam District. He intended to sell the same and for that purpose, approached the first respondent to furnish the particulars as to the valuation. He states that the first respondent is refusing to furnish the particulars, on the ground that the land is registered as Government assessed waste. The petitioner challenges the action of the first respondent in not acceding to his request. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The Registration Act was amended through Act 19 of 2007 by the A.P. State Legislature and Section 22-A, with a different content, was added. According to that provision, the registration of any document in relation to Government land is prohibited. It is not even necessary for the Government to issue a notification enlisting the properties similar to the one under Section 22-A of the Registration Act as it stood before the amendment. Therefore, as long as the classification of the property held by the petitioner continues as Government assessed waste, the question of the first respondent receiving the documents, much less registering the same does not arise. It is for the petitioner to work out his remedies as regards classification of the property. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to work out his remedies in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ 23.08.2007 kdl
