The pattadar passbooks and title deeds were also issued in their favour for the subject lands. Suddenly, they came to know that the subject lands were mentioned in the prohibitory properties list. On coming to know that, they also made representations dated 09.06.2025 and 15.07.2025 to the 2nd respondent requesting to delete the subject lands from the prohibitory properties list by 4 HDR,J W.P.No.25241 of 2025 duly enclosing all the documents.

Hence, the present writ petition is filed. 3. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the respondents. 4. On the other hand, learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the respondents submitted that there is a prescribed procedure to be followed for deletion of the properties from the list of prohibited properties under Section 22-A(1)(C) of the Registration Act, 1908.

Having regard to the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents, and upon perusal of the material available on record, this Court is of the considered view that the present writ petition can be disposed of by granting liberty to the petitioners to file an online application before the 2nd respondent/District Collector within a period of two (02) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Upon submission of such 5 HDR,J W.P.No.25241 of 2025 application, the 3rd respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders within a period of two (02) months thereafter, in accordance with law. 6.
