The AP Government wants to check fake registrations and also land grabbing. To this effect, the Government led by Chandrababu has issued a GO stopping the registrations at the local level.
Many malpractices have been observed in the registrations at the local level.
The order said the commissioner and inspector general (registration & stamps) had requested the government to issue a notification withdrawing the registration services at Village/Ward Secretariats.
Further, the order said the government after careful examination of the entire issue has decided to withdraw the orders issued, declaring the new registration sub-districts, Village/ Ward Secretariats as offices of the joint sub-registrar/sub-registrar and the panchayat secretaries concerned as sub-registrars for registering the documents in Village/Ward Secretariats.
The withdrawal orders would come into force with immediate effect
