31. The subject matter in all the Writ Petitions pertains to Plots in various Sub-divisions of Survey No.36 situated at Gopanpally Village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. For reference, facts in W.P.No.3681 of 2021 are being considered (Serial No.7 in the batch of writ petitions).
32. It is the grievance of petitioner that respondents are refusing to receive and register the Agreement of Sale-cum- Irrevocable General Power of Attorney dated 03.07.2019 bearing document No.433 of 2019 in respect of Plot No.287 in Sy.No.36/AA/8 (Sub Division No.8 of Sy.No.36) situated at Gopanpally Village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. It is submitted that the document has been 21 JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch kept pending on the file of Sub Registrar on the ground that a notification dated 26.09.2013 in File No.E5/4733/2013/Serilingampally/Gopanpally issued by District Collector and the letter bearing No.B/322/2007 dated 08.09.2011 of the Tahsildar.

JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch
35. It is submitted that notification relied upon by the Registrar in his order dated 17.06.2020 is in parimateria to the notification which was the subject matter of challenge before this Court and that this Court in W.P.No.19069 of 2014 by its order dated 25.08.2014 had directed the Sub- Registrar to receive and process the deeds of conveyance subject to the condition that Sub-Registrar was at liberty to refuse to register the deeds by duly assigning reasons. Placing reliance upon the judgment of the learned Single Judge, it is contended that the said notification annexed at Page No.26 being in parimateria to that of the notification under challenge in the W.P.No.19069 of 2014, the notification dated 26.09.2013 has to receive the same fate.
36. Learned counsel invited the attention of this Court to the document annexed to the counter affidavit filed and submitted that the list communicated by the District Collector to Commissioner & Inspector General vide letter No.E1/4478/2024, dated 07.04.2025, is a subsequent list and the same cannot be relied upon, as the order of the Registrar and the Sub-Registrar are based on different 23 JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch notification (earlier dated) and letter of Tahsildar. It is submitted that by letter dated 07.04.2025, properties are added to and a revised list of immovable properties is issued and the said survey number finds place in the said list. It is further submitted that reliance placed on a list dated 07.04.2025 is misconceived and is not valid in the eye of law as the rejection orders of both the Sub-Registrar and that of Registrar are based on different lists and the letter dated 07.04.2025 cannot have a retrospective effect.
37. Placing reliance on the Hon'ble Apex Court judgment in Commissioner of Police, Bombay v. Gordhandas Bhanji 1, it is contended that orders once made, the purport of the order and content cannot be improvised and has to be read and understood on the contents of the order itself. It is further contended that any improvement made by way of counter affidavit or submissions cannot be added to change the purport of the order.
38. Basing on the law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court, it is contended that notification dated 26.09.2013 of 1 AIR 1952 SC 16 24 JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch the office of District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, fell for consideration before this Court and learned Single Judge of this Court by order dated 25.08.2014 in W.P.No.19069 of 2014 directed the Sub-Registrar to receive and process the deeds of conveyance without reference to the Notification dated 26.09.2013.
39. It is submitted that as the subject matter i.e., plots in various subdivided survey number(s) of Sy.No.36 are parcels of land in this batch of writ petitions which pertain to the notification, this Court may consider the order of learned Single Judge, unless different set of facts are borne out of record.
40. It is submitted by learned counsel that as the facts are similar in nature, same order as in W.P.No.19069 of 2014 be passed.
41. On the other hand, learned Assistant Government Pleader for respondents submitted that on the basis of a communication received, Tahsildar addressed a letter to Sub-Registrar, letter dated September, 2011, that certain 25 JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch properties in Serilingampally Mandal and the subject property of the writ petitioner was reflected as Government land(s) in the Khasra Pahani, hence prohibited from being registered. It is further submitted that District Registrar on appeal confirmed the order of the Sub-Registrar on the basis of notification dated 26.09.2013 issued by the office of District Collector, Ranga Reddy District. That the properties in Sy.No.36/AA one in the prohibited list.
42. It is submitted that District Registrar has not erred in rejecting the documents and as such refusal to receive and register the documents presented by the petitioners in the writ petitions are in accordance with law.
43. Learned counsel relied on the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court in Mohinder Singh Gill and another v. The Chief Election Commissioner, New Delhi and others 2, invited the attention of this Court to Paragraph No.8 of the judgment, wherein the observations of Hon'ble Justice Bose in Commissioner of Police, Bombay v. Gordhandas Bhanji (1 supra) were extracted, on the basis 2 (1978) 1 SCC 405 26 JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch of the contents, it was contended that notification of the office of Collector have to be construed on the basis of language used therein.
44. It is submitted that pursuant to Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908 (for short 'the Act') various notifications were issued across the State by the offices of District Collectors. That one such notification issued by the office of District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, is dated 26.09.2013. It is further submitted that on the information and data collected/gathered at the ground level, properties in various survey numbers have been included in the notification and the notification came to be issued on 26.09.2013. It is also submitted that Collector is empowered to issue notification under Section 22-A of the Act.
45. It is submitted that upon the exercise of powers under Section 22-A of the Act, lands are included or listed under any of the Sub-Sections of Section 22-A(1)(a-e) of the Act. It is further submitted that lands in which the State Government has "avowed" or "accrued" interest can also be 27 JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch included/listed in the notification under Section 22-A of the Act, that the notifications are issued to protect the properties from being claimed as private properties, etc,. It is submitted that the order of the learned Single Judge in W.P.No.19069 of 2014 is pertains to set of lands situated in Hafeezpet and the order may not be extended to other areas, as the order is very specific to particular parcels of land. It is further contended that on 07.04.2025, the said parcels of land in various subdivided survey numbers of Sy.No.36 in Gopanpally Village have been notified. It is also contended that the respondents be given liberty to proceed in accordance with law as the said plots in survey numbers have been included in the notification dated 07.04.2025 of the office of District Collector, Ranga Reddy District.
46. Heard learned counsels, perused the record, considered the submissions.
47. In all these writ petitions, petitioners are purchasers of various plots in the main Survey No.36 of Gopanpally Village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. It is the specific case of all the petitioners that they presented 28 JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch sale deeds, development agreements, gift deeds and agreement of sales before the Sub-Registrar, Serilingampally on various dates for registration. That Sub- Registrar without assigning any reasons refused registration. It is observed from the record that Sub- Registrar placed reliance on a communication of the office of Tahsildar (Deputy Collector Cadre), Serilingampally Mandal, dated Nil.09.2011, Lr.No.B/322/2017 (Page No.23, P3) and refused registration.

JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch
50. It is pertinent to extract the relevant portion of the notification communicated to the office of Sub-Registrar. The same is as follows:
THE RANGA REDDY DISTRICT GAZETTE EXTRA ORDINARY PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY Ranga Reddy District Serilingampally Mandal Rajendranagar Division R.R. No. 86 Dated: 26-09-2013 File No. E5/4733/2013/Serilingampally/ Gopanpally Appendix NOTIFICATION In exercise of the powers conferred under G.O.Ms. No. 863 Rev. (Reg.1) Dept., dated: 20-6-2007 and CCLA's circular Instructions No. B1/385/2012, dated: 29-5-2013. The following lands are notified under Section 22-A (1) (a) for the purpose of section 22A(1), Notice is hereby given inviting objections and suggestions on the above proposal from all persons who are likely to be affected thereby for being taken into considering by the Government. All objections and suggestions should be in writing in English or in Telugu and should be addressed to the Collector (by designation) of Ranga Reddy District within whose jurisdiction the area lies, so as to reach the office of the Collector, Ranga Reddy District on or before the expiry of thirty days from the date of publication of this notification in the Andhra Pradesh Gazette.
51. On a perusal of the notification dated 26.09.2013 communicated which contains the list of prohibited properties, can at best be a notification calling for objections to arrive at a final list of prohibited properties. The notification cannot be termed as a final notification of prohibited properties upon which documents can be refused for registration. The notification relied on by the 30 JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch District Registrar cannot be said to be in tune with the law laid down by the Full Bench.
52. A similar notification issued on 26.09.2013 fell for consideration before this Court in W.P.No.19069 of 2014, with the following prayer:
"... to issue a Writ Order or Direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the Ranga Reddy District, Gazette Notification R.R.No.86, dated 26.09.2013, issued in Proc.No.E5/4733/2013/Serilingampally/Hafeezpet dt.26.09.2013 by the 2nd respondent in so far as it relates to lands in Sy.No.78 and 80 of Hafeezpet village Serilingampally Mandal, R.R.District as illegal, arbitrary and contrary to the provisions of the Registration Act and consequently set aside the same and grant such other order or orders as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case."
53. A learned Single Judge of this Court by order dated 25.08.2014 held as follows:
Order :
"It is the case of the petitioners 1 to 3 that they are the owners of the land admeasuring Acs.50.00 guntas in Survey No.78 of Hafeezpet Village. The claim of the 4th petitioner is that he is the owner and he is in possession of another extent of land admeasuring Acs.115.00 guntas in Survey No.80 of Hafeezpet Village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. The petitioners intend to sell the above extents of land and when they approached the Sub-Registrar, Moosapet, Hyderabad-4th respondent, they were informed about the District Gazette notification issued by the District Collector, Ranga Reddy dated 26.09.1913 in which the objections were called from the affected persons against the proposal to notify the lands in Survey Nos.77, 78, 79 and 80 of Hafeezpet Village of Balanagar and 31 JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch Serlingampally Mandals, Ranga Reddy District covered under C.S.No.14 of 1958 under Section 22-A of the Indian Registration Act, 1908 (for short 'the Act').
2. Learned senior counsel for the petitioners submits that the said notification is without power or jurisdiction. A notification can be issued concerning the properties which are mentioned in Section 22(A)(1)(e) of the Act by the State Government and the District Collector has no power to notify any properties covered by Section 22(A)(1)(e) of the Act as the registration of Government lands by way of deeds of conveyance were prohibited. Learned senior counsel placed reliance on earlier orders issued by the Government in memo No.28908/JA1/2004-1, dated 05.11.2004 and memo No.59734/JA.1/2005, dated 18.05.2009, which inter alia disclosed that these lands are treated as private lands and directions were issued for mutation in terms of the orders in C.S.No.14 of 1958.
3. Learned senior counsel further submits that attempts made by the State Government in this Court and the Hon'ble Supreme Court have failed and therefore, the above orders are issued. Learned senior counsel therefore submits that the present notification issued by the District Collector treating it as sarkari is contrary to the orders of the Government and the District Collector does not have competence and power to overrule the orders of the Government and notify the subject land as sarkari land.
4. The matter underwent few adjournments at the instance of the learned Advocate General. When the matter is called, the Advocate General produced a memo filed by the 2nd respondent, wherein reference was made to the order of status quo passed by the Supreme Court in SLA (C) No(s).17362-17363/2014 and also orders passed by the Joint Collector, Ranga Reddy District in Case No.D5/5412/2014, dated 06.08.2014, suspending the mutation granted in respect of M/s.Savera construction.
5. Learned Advocate General submitted that in view of the order o f status quo granted by the Supreme Court and further orders passed by the Joint Collector suspending the mutation orders passed in favour of M/s.Savera construction, no further action can be taken.32
JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch
6. Learned Advocate General submits that the lands in Survey Nos.77, 78, 79 and 80 of Hafeezpet Village are Government lands and that the Government is taking appropriate steps in this regard.
7. As regards the rival contentions on various issues concerning status of land and Government right to assert its title that cannot be gone into in this case.
8. The only issue for consideration in this writ petition is whether the notification issued by the District Collector amounts to prohibition of registration of lands mentioned therein concerning Survey Nos.77 to 80 of Hafeezpet Village in purported exercise of power under Section 22(A)(1)(e) of the Act.
9. Learned Advocate General submits that the notification in question is not issued under the above said provision and that it is erroneously mentioned and that the power is vested to issue a notification only in the State Government under Section 22(A)(2) of the Act. Further the State Government is entitled to call for the report from the District Collector and the notification issued on 26.09.2013 is for the purpose of compiling the information and submitting a report to the State Government to enable it to issue a notification under Section 22(A)(2) of the Act.
10. In other words, learned Advocate General fairly submits that there is no notification issued as on today under Section 22(A)(2) of the Act. It is further submitted that only after receipt of report from the District Collector and after examining the same by the State Government, appropriate action as warranted by law more particularly under Section 22(A)(2) of the Act would be taken.
11. In view of the submission of learned Advocate General, it is made clear that notification dated
26.09.2013 is not a notification under Section 22(A)(2) of the Act and since, as on today, there is no such notification issued under Section 22(A)(2) of the Act, there is no restraint on the registering authority to receive and process the deeds of conveyance concerning the lands in Survey Nos.79 to 80 of Hafeezpet Village.
12. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Sub-Registrar to receive and process the deeds of 33 JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch conveyance without reference to the District Gazette notification dated 26.09.2013 in accordance with the Indian Registration Act, 1908 and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. However, it is open to the registering authority to refuse to register the deeds presented before him, if he has any other objection, by duly assigning reasons in support of such decision and communicate the decision to the petitioners. It is made clear that mere registration of deed of conveyance does not confer title to the property and it is made clear that this order does not preclude the Government to take appropriate steps as warranted by law and to assert its title. No costs."
54. This Court has taken note of the order of the learned Single Judge and the submissions made by learned Advocate General in the matter in W.P.No.19069 of 2014.
55. The notification that fell for consideration in W.P.No.19069 of 2014 and the notification in these writ petitions is pari materia, it is apparent that the notifications issued are on the same day by the office of the District Collector. Having perused the order of the learned Single Judge, this Court is of the view that the contention, that, order in W.P.No.19069 of 2014, is applicable to the facts of the case is tenable and valid.
56. Be that as it may, the learned Single Judge at Paragraph No.12 held as follows:
34
JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch "12. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Sub-Registrar to receive and process the deeds of conveyance without reference to the District Gazette notification dated 26.09.2013 in accordance with the Indian Registration Act, 1908 and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. However, it is open to the registering authority to refuse to register the deeds presented before him, if he has any other objection, by duly assigning reasons in support of such decision and communicate the decision to the petitioners. It is made clear that mere registration of deed of conveyance does not confer title to the property and it is made clear that this order does not preclude the Government to take appropriate steps as warranted by law and to assert its title. No costs."
57. This Court is not inclined to take a different view from what has been held in the order of learned Single Judge at Paragraph No.12, the same view is endorsed by this Court.
58. A Full Bench of this Court in Vinjamuri Rajagopala Chary and others v. Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Hyderabad and others 3, dealt with respect to the entire gamut of Section 22-A of the Act. Further a Division Bench of this Court in a batch of writ petitions, considered the validity of Section 22-A of the Act as incorporated in the Registration Act, 1908 vide A.R. Amendment Act No.19 of 2007 with effect from 20.06.2007. 3 2015 SCC OnLine Hyd 407 35 JAK,J W.P.No.4475 of 2021 & batch The validity of Section 22-A of the Act was upheld by the Division Bench in Invecta Technologies Private Limited and Others v. Government of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and Others 4. A combined reading of the law laid down by the Full Bench of this Court and the Division bench and various orders in writ petitions, it is evident that any refusal for registering a property by an office of Sub- Registrar can be only in accordance with the Act and as per the law laid down by the Full Bench. The notification issued in not in accordance with law.
59. In Vinjamuri Rajagopala Chary and others v. Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Hyderabad and others (3 supra), the Full Bench summarised the conclusions at Paragraph No.158 (in the form of points from I to XV), the relevant points in the present context are as follows:
