HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE CHALLA KODANDA RAM WRIT PETITION No.24651 OF 2016 ORDER:

Heard.

2.

While so, said land was given to respondent No.6 for Kowl purpose and after the death of father of the petitioner, respondent No.6 has been paying the Kowl amount to the family of the petitioner. While the matter stood thus, respondent No.6 by suppressing the facts obtained passbook and title deed vide patta No.43 and respondent No.5 without issuing any notice and without conducting enquiry by following due process under ROR Act and Rules has issued passbook and tile deeds to the petitioner.

following the procedure prescribed under law. As a sequel, the miscellaneous petitions pending consideration, if any, in the Writ Petition shall stand closed in the light of this final order.
