The case of the petitioner is that the petitioner is the absolute owner and possessor of land admeasuring Ac.2.27 cents in Sy.No.692/2 of Savisettipalli Village, S.A.K.N. Mandal, which has been in the continuous, peaceful and lawful possession of his family for over 100 years. The petitioner intended to sell the property to meet his children's educational expenses and other family necessities. However, the 3rd Respondent refused to register any document on the ground that the land was included in the list of prohibited properties under Section 22-A(1)(b) of the Registration Act, 1908. On coming to know about the same, the petitioner submitted representations to the 2nd and 4th Respondents, who endorsed that the land had been mistakenly included in the prohibited list. The petitioner also approached the Permanent Lok Adalat, Kadapa, where the Government Pleader admitted the error, and thereafter the Permanent Lok Adalat vide Award dated 09.09.2017 directed rectification of the records. Pursuant thereto, the 4th Respondent, by proceedings Ref.No.B/162/2018 dated 08.06.2018, informed the 3rd 4 VS,J W.P.No.24184 of 2018 Respondent that there was no objection to registration of the petitioner's land. Despite these directions and official communications, the 3rd Respondent has continued to refuse registration of documents relating to the petitioner's property. Aggrieved by the said action, the petitioner has filed the present Writ Petition. 3. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. 4.

In support of the said contention, a statement of encumbrance has also been filed, which establishes that during the pendency of the present writ petition, the petitioner had already sold the property on 03.11.2019. 5. In view of the above, it is evident that the petitioner has already executed a registered sale deed in respect of the subject property during the 5 VS,J W.P.No.24184 of 2018 pendency of the writ petition. Therefore, the grievance raised in the writ petition no longer survives for adjudication. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
