G. Naganna v. The State Of Andhra Pradesh

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE S.V.BHATT W.P.No.20005 OF 2018 ORDER:

Heard Mr.Jalli Kanakaiah for petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader (Revenue) for respondents 1 to 5. The petitioner prays for the following relief: "....this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to issue any writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ Of Mandamus declaring the impugned proceedings Rc.C.848/2016 dated 2.12.2016 of the 5th respondent in canceling the pattadar pass books and title deeds issued in favour of the petitioner without cancelling pattadar pass books in respect of the land in Sy.No.592 to an extent of Ac.1-10 cents situated at Dhone village and Mandal Kurnool district as illegal arbitrary contrary to law and consequently set aside the same".

The petitioner's case is that he was assigned certain extent of land mentioned in the prayer vide File R.Dis.No.118/ DAR/ 2007 dated 01.05.2007. Possession was delivered to petitioner and later his name was mutated in the revenue records and pattadar pass books were also issued to petitioner. While things stood thus, the 6th respondent submitted an application to 4th respondent/ Revenue Divisional Officer for allotment of petitioner's land. The said application was referred to 4th respondent for taking necessary action. The 4th respondent without following due procedure and in violation of the principles of natural justice cancelled the pattadar passbooks of petitioner through proceedings Rc.C.848/ 2016 dated 02.12.2016. The petitioner approached the Joint Collector/ 3rd respondent by way of revision and sought suspension of the proceedings dated 02.12.2016. The revision is pending. Taking

advantage of the order impugned in the writ petition, the 6th respondent is trying to interfere with the possession and enjoyment of the petitioner.

The Assistant Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that revision would be disposed of as expeditiously as possible. The statement is placed on record.

In the circumstances, the 3rd respondent considers disposing of the revision as expeditiously as possible, preferably within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, stand closed. ____________ S.V.BHATT, J 22nd June, 2018 Lrkm
