A.MUHAMED MUSTAQUE, J.

================== W.P.(C).No. 36099 of 2015 ================== Dated this the 21st day of December, 2015

J U D G M E N T

The petitioner approached this Court for following reliefs: "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 immoveable 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 immoveable properties properties without insisting any permission from respondents 1 to 3. iii.

to grant such other and further reliefs as this Hon'ble Court may consider just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case."

It appears that land covered by the instrument are exempted land. Therefore the registering authority refused to register the instrument.

In fact this Court in a judgment in batch of writ petitions produced as Ext.P18, held that there is no impediment in transferring whole or any part of the exempted land. However, the transferee has to use the exempted land for the purpose of registration, exemption is granted and in the event, any violation is found out, the proceedings can be reopened to

W.P.(C).No. 36099 of 2015 - : 2 :- include the land in the account of the original declarant in terms of ceiling proceedings. Therefore if the instrument otherwise satisfies with the Registration Act and Rules, without prejudice to the right of the State to proceed against the property under ceiling proceedings in case it is found out that exemption has been violated, the instrument shall be registered. The writ petition is disposed of, as above.
