.. Petitioner AND Sub-Registrar, Rayachoti, Kadapa District & 3 others .. Respondents The Court made the following:
HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No.22362 of 2014 ORDER:
The case of the petitioner is that he purchased house site property admeasuring total extent of 426.66 square yards in Sub-Division No.796, situated at Rayachoti Revenue Village, Rayachoti Mandal, Kadapa District, by two separate Deeds of Conveyance. Requesting to issue No Objection Certificate to sell the property, a representation was submitted to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kadapa, Kadapa District (3rd respondent) on 21.11.2011. On a request made by the Revenue Divisional Officer, the Tahsildar, Rayachoti Mandal, Kadapa District (4th respondent) verified the revenue records and in his letter, dated 30.09.2012, recommended to the Revenue Divisional Officer for issuance of No Objection Certificate.
2. The grievance of the petitioner necessitating institution of this writ petition is that in spite of request made as early as in the year November, 2011, and the favourable report submitted by the Tahsildar on 30.09.2012, so far No Objection Certificate as requested by him is not issued and the petitioner has not received further communication from the Revenue Divisional Officer. This action of the Revenue Divisional Officer is illegal.
3. As evident from the documents enclosed to the writ affidavit, a representation was made on 21.11.2011 requesting to issue No Objection Certificate and on the same, a report was called from the Tahsildar. The Tahsildar submitted his report vide letter, date 30.09.2012. There is no good reason to keep a representation pending even though a report is received, for almost three years. Such action is highly deprecated.
4. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kadapa, Kadapa District (3rd respondent) to pass appropriate orders on the request made by the petitioner on 21.11.2011 regarding issuance of No Objection Certificate duly taking into consideration the report of the Tahsildar, Rayachoti Mandal, Kadapa District (4th respondent), dated 30.09.2012. If the petitioner is entitled for issuance of No Objection Certificate, such certificate be issued within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition, shall stand closed.
