THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No.17695 OF 2019 ORDER:

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue.

2.

Petitioner claims that he is the owner of Ac.0.39 guntas of land in Survey No.196/E of Nagulapally Village in Toopran Mandal, Medak District, having purchased the same from his vendor by registered sale deed dated 13.02.1985. He was also issued pattadar passbook and title deeds. However, when the petitioner intended to sell the property and sought information from the Registration Department, he was informed that the subject property is included in the prohibited list of properties under Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908 (for short, 'the Act') and therefore no transaction with regard to the said survey number can be entertained. Having regard to the said information, petitioner applied to the Joint Collector orally and sought for his intervention. It appears, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Toopran, was asked to look into the matter and in terms thereof, the Inspector of Survey and Land Records, Medak District, submitted his report and thereafter no further action is taken. 3.

The issue of inclusion of properties as prohibited properties, procedure for deletion of the same and registration of the documents was considered by the Full Bench of this Court in VINJAMURI RAJAGOPALA CHARY v. STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH1. In terms thereof, when a person has grievance on 1 2015 (3) ALT 96

inclusion of his property in the list of prohibited properties, he has to apply to the District Collector for deletion/modification of the property from the said list and then only he can seek for registration of deed of conveyance. Apparently, no such application is made by the petitioner in writing. 4.

In view of the same, the petitioner is granted liberty to make an application to the District Collector, Medak District, along with all the relevant documents in support of his claim that the subject property is included in the list of prohibited properties. Since the learned counsel for the petitioner sought to contend that in fact competent authority has not notified the property of the petitioner as prohibited property, but only the Tahsildar has intimated to the Sub-Registrar about inclusion of the subject property in the list of prohibited list of properties, the District Collector is directed to look into this aspect and if necessary issue appropriate clarification as required. The entire exercise shall be completed and appropriate decision be communicated to the petitioner within a period of six weeks from the date of submission of application. 5.

The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed. ___________________ P.NAVEEN RAO, J Date:22.08.2019 KH
