IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT HYDERABAD

FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA & THE STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH * * * WRIT PETITION Nos. 33567, 33582 and 33596 of 2015 BETWEEN Maddu Adam ... PETITIONER AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Principal Secretary and others ...RESPONDENTS Date of Order pronounced: 12.10.2015 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 petitioners and learned government pleader for Revenue.

2. Petitioners seek de-notification of their lands from the list of prohibited lands, which was issued and communicated by the District Collector to the Sub-Registrar, the fourth respondent. Petitioners state that they are the absolute owners and their lands have been wrongly included in the list of prohibited categories. Petitioners have also given legal notices dated 02.04.2015 to the District Collector requesting for de-notification. Alleging inaction on the part of respondent Nos.2 to 4, these writ petitions are filed.

3. It is, however, evident that petitioners have not made any application as contemplated under Section 22-A(4) of the Registration Act, 1908. Hence, the present grievance of the petitioners cannot be considered unless they make appropriate applications.

4. Petitioners, therefore, are at liberty to make appropriate applications to the Government and to the District Collector for deletion of their lands. If such applications are 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 petitions are disposed of. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
