It is the case of the petitioners that, they approached the 5 respondent for alienation of the subject lands, it was informed that, the registration cannot be affected since the subject lands are included in the prohibited property list in view of letter addressed by Inspector of Police, CID, RO Kurnool. Thereafter, the petitioners came to know that Sy.No.784/1 is included in the prohibited property list but not Sy.No.784/A. Since, the subject lands belonging to the petitioners are in Sy.No.784/A, they approached respondent Nos.5 to 7, seeking clarification. In pursuance thereof, the 6^*^ respondent clarified by letter dated 25.03.2022, stating that, the subject lands are not included in the prohibited properties list. It is further clarified in the said letter that, Sy.No.784/1 is distinct and separate with that of 3 Sy.No.784/A in which the petitioners are claiming right as absolute owners. It is further case of the petitioners that, despite the said clarification the respondent is not entertaining registrations. Questioning the said action, the present writ petition is filed. On the other hand, the 7‘^ respondent filed counter affidavit 3. admitting the case of the petitioners that, Sy.No.784/1 is included in the prohibited properties list but not Sy.No.784/A. The 5^*^ respondent filed separate counter affidavit stating that, if the petitioners present any documents for registration, the 4. same will be processed as per the provisions of Registration Act 1908 and Indian Stamp Act, 1899. It is not in dispute that, the subject lands in Sy.No.784/A is not included in the prohibited properties list and the same is clear on a perusal of the addressed by Inspector of Police, EOW, CID, RO Kurnool, to the 5^*^ respondent. Further, on perusal of letter dated 25.03.2022, addressed by the 6*'' respondent to the respondent, it is clearly stated therein that, the petitioners are the absolute owners and possessor of lands in Sy.No.784/A. It is also stated in the said letter that, the names of the petitioners are mutated in revenue 4 records and they were issued pattadar passbooks in respect of subject lands. In view of the same, it is clear that, the subject lands are not included in the prohibited properties list. Therefore, there is no impediment for the 5^*^ respondent to entertain registration in respect of subject lands. 5. In view of the foregoing reasons, the present writ petition is disposed of, directing the 5**^ respondent to receive, process, register and release the sale deeds that may be presented by the petitioners in respect of lands admeasuring an extent of Ac.2.49 cents and an extent of Ac.4.99 cents in Sy.No.784/A of Pothugallu Village, Krishnagiri Mandal, Kurnool District, without th referring to letter dated 31.10.2015 addressed by the 7 respondent. 6.
