No.1125/2012. As the petitioner is in need of money for family necessities, he sold the subject land to third parties and approached the 5th respondent to know the stamp duty and registration fee payable for registration of the sale deed. The 5th respondent informed that the subject land is recorded as Government land in the prohibited property list and therefore the document could not be registered. On the application made by the petitioner to the 3rd respondent, eventually, by orders dated 11.06.2019, the 3rd respondent allowed the petitioner’s claim and declared the subject land as private patta land and further directed the Tahsildar, Rayachoty, to take necessary action for mutation of the subject land in the name of the petitioner and directed the 4th respondent to issue suitable instructions to the concerned registration authority for deletion of the subject land from the prohibited property list under Section 22-A(1) of the Registration Act. Accordingly, the revenue authorities mutated the petitioner’s name in the revenue records. Thereafter, the petitioner and the purchaser, after paying requisite stamp duty and registration fee, presented the sale deed before the 5th respondent for registration. The 5th respondent refused to receive the sale deed, without assigning any reasons for his refusal to receive the sale deed for registration. Therefore, the petitioner approached the 4th respondent, but in vain. Assailing the said action of the respondents, the present writ petition is filed.
