2018-02-01A Ramalingeswara Rao2 pages

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.RAMALINGESWARA RAO WRIT PETITION No.2918 of 2018 ORDER:

The second petitioner claims to be the absolute owner of agricultural land admeasuring Acs.5.00 in Survey No.595-1 situated at Raketla Village, Uravakonda Mandal, Ananthapuramu District. His father, the first petitioner, is also the absolute owner of agricultural land admeasuring Acs.5.00 situated in the same survey number and in the same Village. Their names were mutated in the revenue records and pattadar pass books and title deeds were issued to them. Recently, when they took a copy of the revenue record on 15.01.2018, they noticed the names of respondent Nos.4 to 7 in columns 12 as well as 13. The petitioners state that their names were reflected when they took out a copy on 02.05.2017 and their pattadar pass books and title deeds were not cancelled. In those circumstances, they filed the present Writ Petition challenging the action of the third respondent in deleting the names of the petitioners and incorporating the names of respondent Nos.4 to 7.

Learned Counsel for the respondents submits that the said action was taken without issuing any notice to the petitioners and without hearing them.

Since there is an alternative remedy of approaching the competent authority in the case of such a lapse, this Court is

not inclined to entertain the present Writ Petition, but gives liberty to the petitioners to approach the competent authority under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act for rectification of the irregularity and as and when such an application is filed, it is needless to observe that the competent authority shall hear the petitioners as well as respondent Nos.4 to 7 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.

The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions pending in this Writ Petition, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________________ (A.RAMALINGESWARA RAO, J) 01.02.2018 vs
