IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT HYDERABAD

FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA & THE STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH * * * WRIT PETITION No. 33777 of 2015 BETWEEN T.Venkata Rao ... PETITIONER AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Principal Secretary and others ...RESPONDENTS Date of Order pronounced: 13.10.2015 THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR

1. Whether Reporters of Local newspapers Yes/No may be allowed to see the Judgments?

2. Whether the copies of judgment may be Yes/No marked to Law Reporters/Journals?

3. Whether his Lordship wish to see the Yes/No fair copy of the Judgment?

ORDER:- Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned government pleader for Revenue.

2. Petitioner seeks de-notification of his lands from the list of prohibited lands, which was issued and communicated by the District Collector to the Sub-Registrar, the fourth respondent. Petitioner states that he is the absolute owner and his land is wrongly included in the list of prohibited categories. Petitioner has also given legal notice dated 02.04.2015 to the District Collector requesting for de-notification. Alleging inaction on the part of respondent Nos.2 to 4, this writ petition is filed.

3. It is, however, evident that petitioner has not made any application as contemplated under Section 22-A(4) of the Registration Act, 1908. Hence, the present grievance of the petitioner cannot be considered unless he makes appropriate application.

4. Petitioner, therefore, is at liberty to make appropriate application to the Government and to the District Collector for deletion of his lands. If such an application is received, respondent Nos.1 and 2 shall examine the same and pass appropriate orders thereon expeditiously preferably within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of such application.

With the above direction, writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
