THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NOS.7183, 7189 AND 7195 OF 2011 DATED 28TH MARCH, 2011 BETWEEN D.Dharmaraju and others …Petitioners and The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Represented by its Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NOS.7183, 7189 AND 7195 OF 2011 COMMON ORDER: The grievance of the petitioners in these three cases being identical in nature, they are amenable to disposal by way of this common order. Their complaint is with regard to the action of the Sub-Registrar, Chirala, Prakasam District, the second respondent in the three cases, in not entertaining and registering their documents in respect of their lands situated in various survey numbers of Ipurupalem Village, Chirala Mandal, Prakasam District. They seek a consequential direction to the second respondent to receive the said documents and register the same in accordance with law. It is the case of the petitioners that the refusal by the second respondent to register their documents is based on the inclusion of their lands in the list dated 21.07.2007 furnished by the Tahsildar, Chirala, Prakasam District, detailing the lands shown as Assessed Waste Government lands in respect of which a prohibition as to registration of documents would operate. This Court had occasion to deal with one such land included in the list dated 21.07.2007 furnished by the Tahsildar, Chirala, in SMT.NERELLA SEETARAVAMMA v. THE GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH[1]. Taking note of the fact that no notification had been published by the Government under Section 22-A(2) of the Registration Act, 1908 in respect of the land in that writ petition and being of the opinion that unless such a notification was issued, no prohibition would come into play with regard to registration of documents, this Court directed the Sub-Registrar, Chirala, Prakasam District, to entertain the document presented by the petitioner in that case for registration. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue stated on instructions that no notification had been published under Section 22-A(2) of the Registration Act, 1908 in respect of the lands in any of the survey numbers involved in these three writ petitions. That being so, the issue is squarely covered by the earlier Judgment of this Court in SMT.NERELLA SEETARAVAMMA. The Writ Petitions are accordingly allowed. There shall be a direction to the Sub-Registrar, Chirala, Prakasam District, to receive, register and deliver the documents presented by the petitioners in respect of the subject lands in accordance with due procedure without reference to the fact that the same find mention in the list dated 21.07.2007 furnished by the Tahsildar, Chirala, Prakasam District. In the circumstances, there shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 28TH MARCH, 2011. VGSR/PGS [1] Writ Petition No.1440 of 2011 dated 25.02.2011
