Dandanayakulu Santosh v. The State Of Telangana

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.RAJASHEKER REDDY W.P.NO.32140 OF 2018

O R D E R

The case of the petitioners, as per the averments made in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, is that their father is the absolute owner and possessor of the subject land and after his death, the names of the petitioners were incorporated in the revenue records and that while the matter stood, the Government of Telangana floated Rythu Bandu scheme for providing financial assistance of Rs.4,000/ - per acre and issued new pattedar dasrani pass books for the lands held by the farmers. The further case of the petitioners is that though the said books were issued throughout the state of Telangana, the 3rd respondent - Tahsildar, Asifabad Mandal, Komuram Bheem Asifabad District, has not issued the said new pass books and the cheques under Rythu Bandu scheme.

It is stated that the father of the petitioners never sold the subject land to third parties. The 3rd respondent, however, after conducting enquiry, incorporated the names of the petitioners as pattedars. The grievance of the petitioners is that though the 3rd respondent prepared the pass books, kept them with him without issuing the same. Hence the writ petition.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue produced written instructions of the 3rd respondent - Tahsildar, dated 07.09.2018, stating that one Sri Muddangula Venkatesham s/ o Venkati claiming to be the purchaser and possessor of the subject land, filed objection in grievance cell and in pursuance of the same, the District Collector,

Kumuram Bheem Asifabad District, issued instructions not to issue pattadar pass books and Rythu Bandu Scheme cheques. In the written instructions it is further stated that the case is under enquiry before the Tahsildar, Asifabad.

Since in the written instructions it is stated that objections were filed in respect of the subject property in the grievance cell and the case is pending enquiry before the 3rd respondent, writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to issue notice and opportunity of hearing to the petitioners and take action in accordance with law, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Interlocutory applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. No costs.
