Shorn of all unnecessary facts asserted in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, the specific case of the petitioner is that the respondent authority is not registering the document though the Government has deleted the property from the prohibitory property list under Section 22-A of the Registration Act. 3. The learned State Counsel has placed the written instructions addressed by the 3rd respondent/Sub-Registrar, Prathipadu to the Government Pleader for Revenue, wherein it is stated that vide G.O.Ms.No.89 Revenue (Lands.V) Department, dated 02.03.2023, the survey number of the petitioner’s property was deleted from the 4 prohibited property register and there is no prohibition for registration of the property of the petitioner. It is further stated that the petitioner has not represented the document No.P152/2021 before the 3rd respondent and the petitioner is put to strict proof of the same and it is absolutely false to aver that the 3rd respondent is not allowing the petitioner to represent the document and the petitioner filed the present writ petition without any bonafide grounds. 4.
