THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.21720 of 2008 ORDER: All the petitioners – numbering 20; are allegedly legal heirs of late Nawab Mir Basheeruddin Ali Khan, who is allegedly son of the Nizam-III, Mir Akbar Ali Khan Sikander Jah. They are aggrieved by entries in the Sethwar and other revenue records like Vasul Baki in respect of land admeasuring Acs.242.21 guntas in survey No.101, Acs.8.20 guntas in survey No.104 showing them as Pan Maktha lands (hereafter called, petition schedule lands). All of them are represented by their duly constituted power of attorney holder Kommu Rajesh. In the affidavit filed by him, petitioners allege that petition schedule lands were personal properties of the Nizam, as per the Government Gazette of Sarkari Hali Nizam-Ul- Mulq, Ashif Jahee 1286 Hijree No.78 Vol.Hyderabad Deccan, II Amardad 1356 Fasli, 12th Ud-Razab-Ul-Murazeb 1356 Hijree No.1356 No.341, 15th Zeer 1356 Fasli, and also as per the proclamation under Section 5 of Land Acquisition Act, 1894 when the land was notified for construction of National Highway, Hyderabad to Nagpur. It is a further case of petitioners that the Nizam issued a firman in 1906 AD decreeing that the property shall remain under the supervision of Sarf-e-khas and the name of the pattadar Nawab Samsam-Ud-Dowla was deleted from the records of Kompally village. The land was transferred to Pet Basheerbagh Village records and were shown as Government lands. The petitioners allege and contend that in several cases before various Courts including before revenue authorities, petitioners have been consistently making claim that the lands belong to them by inheritance, and therefore, the entries in Sethwar 1350 Fasli as Pan Maktha inam is illegal. The petitioners through their GPA made a detailed representation on 22.03.2007 requesting the Special Chief Secretary to Government of Andhra Pradesh in Revenue Department to remove the entries as Pan Maktha inam in the Sethwar 1350 Fasli from Column III and from Column III in Vasul Baki in 1347 Fasli as well as subsequent Pahanis. Learned counsel for petitioners made submissions with reference to contents and allegations made in the affidavit accompanying the writ petition. The writ petition is opposed by learned Assistant Government Pleader as barred by delay and laches. The petitioners themselves admit that petition schedule land has been subject matter of various cases before revenue authorities as well as Courts. This only presupposes that they are very much aware that all the entries in Sethwar, Vasul Baki and revenue records, the land is shown as Pan Maktha inam. If that be so, nothing prevented the petitioners to file suits for declaration and claim the lands. when entries were made in 1350 Fasli (1940 A.D.), they chose to file an application before Government of Andhra Pradesh on 22.03.2007 after a period of 67 years. Even if petitioners had any right as they assert, such rights, by reason of Section 27 of the Limitation Act, 1963, get extinguished and cannot be enforced in a Court of law. When a right cannot be enforced in a Court of law, it would not be proper for this Court to direct the Government to confer such right on petitioners by directing that the representation should be considered. The writ petition is wholly misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 22.12.2008 pln
