The brief facts of the case are that in the year 1919, the land admeasuring 222.22 square yards in Sy.No.1089/2 situated in Thatiguntapalli Revenue village, Valmikipuram Mandal, Chittor District was originally assigned to Moore Venkat Reddy and Chinna Thimma Reddy. In the year 1992, they partitioned the property by way of registered partition deed on 24.05.1929. Thereafter, the subject land was sold away to various parties, and ultimately, the petitioner’s vendor purchased the subject land by virtue of three registered sale deeds and developed the land and made it for plots and sold Plot Nos.161 and 162 in an extent of 222.22 square yards in Sy.No.1089/2 to the petitioner by virtue of registered sale deed dated 21.11.2007, and since then, the petitioner has been in possession and enjoyment of the same. While so, the petitioner, with an intention to alienate the property to the third parties approached the 6th respondent to furnish the market value certificate. Now, the petitioner’s grievance is that even though the land in question is an assigned land and number of transactions took place prior to 1954, the 6th respondent refused to furnish the market value certificate on the ground that the subject property is prohibited under Section 22-A(1)(e) of the Registration Act, 1908 vide G.O.Ms.No.215, dated 13.05.2016. Hence, the present writ petition is filed seeking appropriate directions.
