Jalkam Lakshmamma v. The State Of Telangana And 3 Others

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.ABHISHEK REDDY WRIT PETITION Nos.34528, 34534 and 34547 of 2021 COMMON ORDER:

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue for all the respondents. All the three writ petitions are filed by three different individuals alleging inaction of the respondent-authorities in implementing the mutation proceedings dated 17.11.2017 and issuing e-pattadar passbooks and title deeds. After enactment of the Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 2020, the Tahsildars have been divested of the powers to make any rectification/correction in the revenue records and the Collectors have been vested with the powers to pass any orders with regard to the rectification/correction of the entries in the revenue records.

In furtherance of the same, if any person is aggrieved by the entries in the revenue records and seeks rectification of the same, he has to file an on-line application through Dharani Web Portal to the Collector concerned. On verification of the material papers filed along with the all the Writ Petitions, the application made by the respective petitioners to the Collector through on-line Dharani web portal is found to be one and the same i.e. LM2100096985. Admittedly, the receipt generated through on-line can only be in respect of one person. Therefore, it is evident that the petitioners wanted to obtain orders in all the three writ petitions from this Court basing on one single application.

orders in three different writ petitions based on the single application is nothing but an attempt not only to cheat the Court but also the revenue authorities and the same amounts to fraud, suppression of material fact and subvert the judicial process. This Court as well as the Hon'ble Supreme Court on number of occasions deprecated the practice of petitioners or their counsel who are trying to obtain orders on the basis of fabricated documents or trying to get order by misleading the Court. In these writ petitions, all the three petitioners filed one and the same Dharani application bearing No.LM2100096985 for all the three writ petitions and wanted to obtain orders from this Court, which amounts to playing fraud and misleading the Court. When pointed out by this Court about the filing of the same receipt in three different writ petitions for different petitioners, the learned counsel for the petitioners sought permission of the Court to withdraw the writ petitions, but this Court has declined the said request of the counsel.

For the afore-stated reasons, all the writ petitions are dismissed with costs of Rs.10,000/- each payable to the High Court Legal Services Authority on or before 10.01.2022. Registry is directed to see that the amounts are paid, if not, necessary action may be initiated against the learned counsel for the petitioners. As this is the first instance, the learned counsel for the petitioners is warned to be careful in future, otherwise necessary action may have to be initiated against him for not only verifying the papers submitted by the clients but also trying to mislead this Court and obtain orders.

Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ A.ABHISHEK REDDY, J Date : 17-12-2021 Note : Issue C.C. by 27.12.2021 B/o NVL/sur
