Vedem Vinoda, v. The State Of Telangana,

HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No.18138 OF 2019 ORDER:

Heard Sri K. Narsi Reddy, learned counsel for petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 5.

2. The petitioner herein along with her father, Karla Chendra Reddy, filed Writ Petition No.3309 of 2013 challenging the proceedings of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Jangaon, Warangal District dated 19.04.2008 and consequential proceedings of the Tahsildar, Cherial Mandal, dated 06.12.2012. The writ petition was disposed of by an order, dated 27.12.2013, rejecting the plea of the petitioners to set aside the proceedings of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Jangaon dated 19.04.2008, but this Court set aside the proceedings of the Tahsildar dated 06.12.2012 and directed the Tahsildar to conduct a fresh inquiry by following due procedure.

3. The petitioner alleges that after the remand, no further steps have been taken by the Tahsildar and so far proceedings are not concluded. According to the petitioner, notices were issued to conduct an inquiry, but no inquiry is conducted and proceedings are not concluded even after six (06) years. Ventilating her grievance, the petitioner submitted a representation on 16.07.2019 alleging inordinate delay in concluding the inquiry as ordered by this Court.

PNR,J W.P. No.18138 of 2019 Alleging inaction on the part of Tahsildar in considering her representation, the petitioner filed present writ petition.

4. It appears originally the issue was decided by the Tahsildar, Cherial Mandal. After reorganization of Districts in the State of Telangana in the year 2016, Inapur Revenue Village, in which the lands of petitioner are situated, comes within the jurisdiction of Komuravelli Mandal, and the Tahsildar, Komuravelli Mandal is competent authority to decide the subject matter. If what is contended by the petitioner is true that so far the proceedings are not concluded as directed by this Court in W.P. No.3309 of 2013, it is alarming; speaks volume of lethargic approach.

5. Accordingly, respondent No.5 is directed to expedite the hearing and conclude the proceedings expeditiously, preferably within a period of eight (08) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order by issuing a notice to respondent No.6. At the same time, respondent No.4 is directed to forward the record concerning the proceedings in B/851/2008, dated 06.12.2012 and all other records that may be available in his office with reference to the lands to an extent of Acs.4.04 guntas in Survey No.133/A and an extent of Acs.8.09 guntas in Survey No.1015, situate at Inapur Revenue Village of Cherial Mandal, Warangal District, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

PNR,J W.P. No.18138 of 2019

6. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the admission stage itself. In the circumstances, there shall be no order as to costs.

As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in the writ petition shall stand closed.
