Parchuri Ratnakar Rao vs State Of A.P. And Ors. on 27 June, 2006
In the common order in W.P. No. 17759 of 2005 and Batch dated 9.9.2005 also, the learned Single Judge firstly held any purchaser of such land after the Act to be not a holder of the land within the meaning of Section 2(1) and secondly noted that in Nalla Yakoob's case (supra) and P.S.Rao's case (supra), the original holders of the land sought relief from the Court under G.O. Ms. No. 733. The learned Single Judge observed that G.O. Ms. No733 indicates that the holder of such land desiring to convert it into land for non-agricultural purpose is required for exemption. Therefore, if the holder of the land by 31.10.1988, the date of G.O.Ms.No. 733, has no intention for such conversion, the applicability of the exemption thereunder becomes doubtful, apart from the question whether a purchaser subsequent to G.O.Ms.No. 733 can claim to be a holder of such land.
