Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has addressed the growing apprehensions regarding the inclusion of certain lands in the prohibited lists under Section 22A of the Registration Act. The Chief Minister emphasized that the State government remains steadfast in its commitment to protecting the property rights of its citizens.

During a high-level review meeting with senior officials on Tuesday, the CM addressed widespread complaints concerning the inclusion of private lands in the prohibited list. He made it clear that the government is taking proactive steps to ensure that legitimate owners encounter no obstacles when attempting to register their properties.

Urgent Administrative Directives

In a move to streamline the process, officials have been strictly instructed to verify whether lands belonging to individuals who have already secured online registration slots were erroneously included under Section 22A. If the lands are confirmed to be private, the registration process must be facilitated without delay. A deadline of two days has been set for this verification process.

Furthermore, District Collectors have been tasked with conducting thorough inspections of all lands currently listed under Section 22A. The goal is to prepare a comprehensive and accurate list, which the government views as a permanent solution to the ongoing administrative confusion.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that the mismanagement of Section 22A lists has historically been a major pain point for real estate transactions and individual property owners in the region. By addressing this head-on, the administration aims to curb corruption and prevent the unauthorized freezing of private assets, thereby boosting economic confidence in the land market.

"The government's stance is clear: private property rights are sacrosanct, and administrative errors will be rectified with urgency."

The Chief Minister also issued a stern warning to the public, urging them not to fall prey to brokers, middlemen, or unfounded rumors circulating regarding Section 22A land status. He emphasized relying solely on official government channels for information.

Historical Background

Section 22A of the Registration Act is designed to prevent the illegal registration of government-owned, temple, or endowment lands. However, due to clerical errors or outdated land records, private properties are sometimes mistakenly flagged, leading to significant legal and financial hurdles for rightful owners.
