Heard Sri Satyanarayana Dhara, learned counsel for the petitioners andlearned Assistant Government Pleader for Registration and Stamps (AP) appearing for the respondents. 3. Grievance of the writ petitioners is against the proceedings of the respondents placing the subject property in prohibited category of registration under provisions of Section 22-A 1(a) of the Registration Act, 1908. It is contended by the petitioners that the 1stpetitioner purchased the subject property from her predecessors-in-title for valuable consideration, and her name has already been mutated in the revenue records. After obtaining the necessary permissions she has also made constructions over the subject property and has been in possession and enjoyment of the same. 4. It is contended that the petitioner came to know of the proceedings dated 11.12.2017 issued by the 2ndrespondent while she was proposing to execute a gift deed in favour of her daughter-in-law, she approached the registering authorities. At the said point of time, the petitioner came to know that the subject property had been placed in the prohibited list for registration. 5. Aggrieved by the said action, the petitioner sought deletion of the subject property from the prohibited list and accordingly filed an application through mee-seva web portal. However, despite filing an application on 27.03.2023, seeking deletion of the subject property from the prohibited category, the respondents have neither acted upon the said application nor deleted the subject property from the prohibited list. 4 6. It is stated by the learned counsel for the petitioner that during the pendency of the writ petition, the 1st writ petitioner died and her legal heirs have been brought on record. 7. It is further stated that the 1stpetitioner had purchased the subject property for valid consideration and was entitled to enjoy the same as an absolute owner of the property. 8. When the matter was taken up for consideration, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Registration and Stamps (AP) appearing for the respondents, after seeking several adjournments to ascertain the status of the application dated 27.03.2023, placed instructions before this Court today. A perusal of the said instructions reveals that the application filed by the petitioner is pending for consideration is yet to be placed before the District- Level Scrutiny Committee for prima facie examination and for passing appropriate orders. 9. Having regard to the submissions made and the circumstances of the case, this Court is of the considered view that since the petitioner has already approached the competent authority, seeking deletion of the subject property from the prohibited list, the said application ought to have been disposed of by the respondents within a reasonable time. However, as considerable time has elapsed without any decision, in the interest of justice, a direction is issued to the 2ndrespondent to consider and dispose of the representation/application 5 dated 27.03.2023 filed by the petitioner, in accordance with law, within a stipulated time. 10. Having regard to the same, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to pass appropriate orders on the application dated 27.03.2023 filed by the petitioner seeking deletion of the subject property, within a period of eight (08) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, interlocutory applications, if any, pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed. ______________________________ JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA 03.02.2026 RMR/CMK 6 130 THE HONOURABLE SMT JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA WRIT PETITION No: 16586 OF 2022 Date: 03.02.2026 RMR/CMK
