JUDGMENT

Petitioners have approached this Court with the following prayers: i) to issue a writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction, directing the respondents 4 to 6 to permit the petitioners to transfer their immovable properties to persons of their choice.

ii) to issue a writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction, directing the respondents to declare that the petitioners are free to transfer their immovable properties, without insisting any permission from the respondents 1 to 3.

It is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that no action has been initiated to interdict the petitioners from transferring the land.

In that view of the matter, the petitioners are free to alienate the property in accordance with law. If the petitioners present any instrument for registration, if otherwise satisfies with the formalities under the Registration Law, necessarily, that instrument shall be registered even if the property is an exempted land under the Kerala Land Reforms Act. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
