LAW FOR ALL

the condition of prohibiting alienation of the assigned lands was introduced in the year 1958 and all the assignments made earlier thereto did not contain such condition of non alienation. Therefore the prohibition contained under Section 22-A of the Registration Act or Sections 3 to 5 of the Act do not operate vis-à-vis the lands that were assigned earlier to 1958, as was rightly held by this Court in the cases referred supra. For the foregoing discussion, the proceedings of the second respondent-District Collector, dated 12.08.2011 are set aside as the same are not traceable to any statutory or other legal provisions of law and consequently there shall be a direction to the fifth respondent-Sub Registrar to entertain and process the documents presented by the petitioners in respect of the subject land for registration, without insisting on submission of No Objection Certificate from the revenue authorities, in accordance with law. The writ petition is accordingly allowed. The miscellaneous petitions filed in the writ petition shall stand disposed of as infructuous in consequence. There shall be no order as to costs.”
