Babburi Kamalamma v. State Of Telangana

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE S.V.BHATT W.P. No.18383 of 2018 ORDER:

Heard Mr H.Venugopal for petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader (Revenue). The petitioners pray for the following relief: "...writ of mandamus declaring the orders passed by the 3rd respondent in Case No.B/3258/2017, dated 31.05.2018, as bad, illegal, arbitrary..."

The Assistant Government Pleader objects the maintainability of writ petition on the ground that appeal/revision is maintainable, by referring to the decision laid down in Kuruva Hanumanthamma v. Prl. Secy., Revenue Dept., Hyderabad and others1. This Court is convinced that the petitioners can work out their remedies by filing statutory revision under Section 9 of the A.P.Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 (for short 'the Act').

The revision, if is filed, as permitted by this Court, this Court has no reason to doubt that the Joint Collector/2nd respondent keeps in view the principle laid 1 2017 (6) ALT 449

down by this Court on the jurisdiction of revisional authority under Section 9 of the Act in Kuruva Hanumanthamma's case.

To meet the ends of justice, the writ petition is disposed of by this order.

(a) The petitioners are given liberty to file revision within four (04) weeks from today by enclosing copy of this order.

(b) The revision, if is filed, as permitted by this Court, the Joint Collector considers disposing of the revision, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within three (03) months from the date of filing of revision. No order as to costs.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending, shall stand closed.
