RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J.

1. This appeal, under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent, is preferred against the interlocutory order passed by the learned Single Judge in WP MP No. 47019 of 2017 in WP No. 37854 of 2017 dated 13.11.2017. The 1st respondent herein filed the writ petition questioning G.O. Ms. No. 215 dated 13.5.2016 notifying the subject lands under Section 22-A(1)(e) of the Registration Act, 1908.

2. The 1st respondent-writ petitioner purchased the subject lands pursuant to a sale conducted by the Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Chittoor, and on his issuing a Sale Certificate in favour of the petitioner, pursuant to the orders passed in EP No. 123/10-11 and EP No. 115/10-11 on 24.10.2011.

3. The contention urged, before the learned Single Judge, by Sri A. Giridhar Rao, learned Counsel for the 1st respondent-writ petitioner, was that, once the assigned lands are mortgaged in favour of a Co-operative Bank, and if the property is put to auction thereafter for failure of the assignee to repay the debt, the lands sold in the auction lose the character of assigned land; and the auction purchaser would have unfettered right and title over the said lands.
