1. The case of the petitioner is that land to an extent of Ac.4.64 cents in Sy.No.91 of Harischandrapuram Village, Tulluru Mandal, Guntur District is ancestral property of the petitioner and the same was in possession and enjoyment of the family members of the petitioner for more than 90 years. After demise of the father, petitioner succeeded to the property. Pattadar pass books and title deeds were issued on 20.02.1996. With an intention to dispose of the said property, petitioner approached the Sub-Registrar, Amaravathi (4th respondent) to ascertain the market value and stamp duty. The 4th respondent informed the petitioner that Commissioner and Inspector General of Registration and Stamps vide Memo G1/7106/2014 dated 20.08.2014 circulated list of prohibited lands. Survey No.91 is also included and the same is shown as belonging to Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple (6th respondent). Petitioner was therefore informed that in view of the letter of Commissioner, he is not entertaining any document with respect to land situated in Sy.No.91. Aggrieved thereby, this writ petition is instituted.
