“For reasons alike as were mentioned in the said order, this writ petition is allowed holding that there is no basis for the inclusion of the petitioner’s land in Survey No.163/1 of Banaganapalle Village, in the list of prohibited properties communicated by the Revenue Authorities to the Registration Authorities. In the event the Government claims the subject land as its own, it is open to it to initiate appropriate proceedings before the competent forum in that regard and seek cancellation of the registered transactions thereafter. The endorsement dated 01.07.2013 of the Sub- Registrar, Banaganapalle, is accordingly set aside. The Sub-Registrar, Banaganapalle, is accordingly directed to receive and process the document presented by the petitioner in respect of the subject land without reference to the letter dated 17.01.2012, subject to the document presented for registration being in accordance with the requirements of the Registration Act, 1908 and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899.”
