ORDER :during the review meeting held on 20-7-2002, it is brought to notice by the Muslim Service Society that the Sub-Registrars in the district are registering the properties on the basis of layout or plot Nos. without mentioning the survey Numbers. In view of the above situation it has become very difficult to identify the unauthorized encroachments so made by the public over the wakf properties by the Revenue or Municipal authorities in the absence of specific Survey numbers. It is therefore ordered that all registrations should be necessarily made duly mentioning the Survey Numbers irrespective of the property i. e. , land/house/structure/open site by the Sub-Registrar in future. Any deviation in this regard will be reviewed very seriously. All Sub-Registrars in the District are requested to put an end to the procedure of registering the lands/houses/ with lay out or plot Nos. The following Survey Nos. of Kurnool district are the Wakf properties as represented by the Muslim Service Society, kurnool. The order Survey Nos. of all wakf properties in Kurnool District will be furnished soon.
