THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING ORDER:

Notice before Admission.

Learned Government Pleader for Stamps and Registrations takes notice

on respondent Nos.'l to 4 and seeks time to file counter.
Learned counsel for petitioner stated that this Court while dealing with
similar issue in W.P.No.5206 ol 2024 by order dated 06.03.2024 has passed the
following order:-
"ln the present case on hand, in the letter dated 10.06.2021 vide
Lr.No.E5/2825/2021 issued by Collector and District Magistrate to District
Registrar, Sfamps and Registration, the updated list ot prohibited lands have
been furnished and a list of prohibited lands was also enclosed along with the
said letter for taking necessary action. ln the said list, the subject Sy.Nos.41/12
and 41/13 admeasuring Ac.5-00 gts., and Ac.4-00 gts., respectively were shown.
 ln the said order of the Hon'ble Division Bench of this Court cited supra
in paragraph 30, while referring to paragraph Nos.155 and 156 of the judgment
of the Hon'bte Futl Bench of this Court in the case of Vinjamuri Rajagopala
Chary v. Revenue Department at (vi) held as follows:
vi) The properties covered under clause (e) of Section 22-A shall be notified in
the official gazetle of the State Governments and shall be forwarded, along with
the list of properties, and a copy of the relevant notification/gazette, to the
concerned registering authorities under the provisions of Registration Act and
shall also place the said notification/gazette on the aforementioned websites of
both the State Govemments. The Registering authorities shall make available a
copy of the Notification/Gazelte on an application made by an aggrieved party.
Admittedly, there is no notification subsequent to the letter issued by
Collector to the District Registrar dated 10.06.2021 to place the subject lands in
the prohibitory list.
Thus, Respondent No.3 - Sub-Registra r, Serilingampally, Ranga Reddy
District, is
directed to receive and register the Sa/e deed that would be
presented by the petitioner in respect of the subject property i.e., Plot bearing
No.2-41/5/2 on eastern part of plot bearing No.1, admeasuring 100 sq.yds in
Sy.No.41/12 and 41/13 situated at rest of area not covered in any colony of
Khanamet Village, Serilingampally mandal, Ranga Reddy District and release
the said document without reference to the letler issued by respondent No.4
vide letter No.E5/2825/2021. However, the document presented shall be in
accordance to law, more pafiicularly, the provisions of the Registration Act,
1908 and the lndian Stamp Act, 1899. However, such registration would be
subject to the final result of this writ Petition. lt is clarified that mere
registration of the document will not confer any right on the petitioner and
would be subject to the final result of the Writ Petition. The parties of the
document shall not enter into further transactions in respect of the subject
property except on obtaining required permission from this Court.
Registry is directed to make an endorsement on the writ Petition to the
effect that the same shall not be permitted to be withdrawn."
 ln similar circumstances, this Court in W.P.No.32726 of 2023 dated
01.12.2023 and W.P.No.31619 of 2021 dated 27.12.2021 pertaining to same
survey numbers has directed the respondent authorities to receive, register
and release the documents presented by the petitioner.
Learned Government Pleader for Stamps and Registrations has not
disputed the same.
ln view of the above and for the reasons alike in the orders dated
27 .12.2021 , 01.'12.2023 and 06.03.2024 this Court deems it appropriate to permit
the petitioner to proceed with the transaction subject to the final orders that

Thus, Respondent No.4-Joint Sub-Registrar-1 and 2, RO(OB), Ranga
Reddy District is directed to receive, register and release the General Power of
