Bijilee Agamaiah, v. The Collector And District Magistrate

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.30531 OF 2015 ORDER:

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondents 1 to 4. The petitioners' grievance is with regard to not correcting the wrongful entries made in the revenue records in relation to Acs.3.00 of land in Survey No.867/O in Koremual Village, Ghatkesar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. The petitioners rely upon the order passed by the Joint Collector, Ranga Reddy District, in Case No.D5/490/2001, dated 21.02.2004, wherein a direction was issued to the Mandal Revenue Officer to expunge and delete the wrongful entries, make correct entries and attest his signature in the relevant records. He was further directed to ensure that the pattadar passbooks and title deeds if any issued to any of the parties stand cancelled and submit a compliance report to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Ghatkesar, Ranga Reddy District, the 2nd respondent.

Learned counsel for the petitioners states that the said order is not yet complied with and further wrongful entries are made in the revenue records and thereby the petitioners are put to serious detriment. He further states that aggrieved by such entries, the petitioners have already filed an appeal on 17.08.2015 before the 2nd respondent. Learned counsel, therefore, states that not only the wrongful entries continue, but the persons, in whose favour such entries exist, have been taking up constructions in the subject plots, which need to be forthwith stopped. A detailed representation appears to have been made by the petitioners to the revenue authorities in this

regard.

Learned Government Pleader for Revenue, on instructions, submits that the 2nd respondent would expeditiously consider the representation of the petitioners by fixing an early date. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition by directing the 2nd respondent to fix an early date for hearing of the appeal and the representation filed by the petitioners and decide the same expeditiously. The 2nd respondent shall also see that if the order of the Joint Collector, dated 21.02.2004, has attained finality, ensure its compliance by rectifying the entries in the revenue records. The revenue authorities are also free to take appropriate action to ensure that no construction activity takes place in the disputed land, pending adjudication, as directed.

The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed.
