THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 7425 of 2009 ORDER: An extent of Ac.85.94 cents in Survey Nos.228, 229 etc. of Mamidalapadu Village, Kurnool Mandal was held by one Mr.Stanton. He is said to have left for foreign countries and did not return. Fairly large number of persons occupied the said land. Father of petitioners occupied an extent of Ac.4.55 cents including Ac.0.42 cents in Survey No.229/3D. All of them made representations for regularization of their possession. Through proceedings, dated 21.07.1982, the Tahsildar, Kurnool, 2nd respondent herein directed that the lands to the extent mentioned against the names of concerned individuals be regularized in the revenue records. The petitioners intended to sell the land in Survey No.229/3D admeasuring Ac.0.42 cents and they approached the 3rd respondent for registration of documents. However on the strength of a communication, dated 10.10.2008, sent by the 2nd respondent, the 3rd respondent has refused to entertain the documents. The communication is to the effect that the lands mentioned therein, including the one in Survey No.229/3D, was assigned and the prohibition contained in Section 22-A of the Registration Act and Section 5 of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act applies. The petitioners feel aggrieved by the same. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents. It is not known as to whether the 3rd respondent is aware of the orders dated 21.07.1982 issued by his office. If the same is taken into account, it emerges that the persons mentioned therein were not assigned any land and on the other hand, their possession over the private lands was regularised. Unless the 2nd respondent has any independent material or proof to show that the land in Survey No.229/3D was assigned, he cannot include the same in the list of assigned lands. The petitioners can approach the 2nd respondent with a representation, duly enclosing the relevant documents. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioners to file a representation before the 2nd respondent duly enclosing the proceedings dated 21.07.1982 and other material in their possession. On receipt of the same, the 2nd respondent shall examine the matter and if it emerges that there is no other proof as to assignment of the land in Survey No.229/3D, he shall give necessary communication to the 3rd respondent in this regard. This exercise shall be completed within two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 30.04.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 7425 of 2009 Date: 30.04.2009 JSU
