THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.27865 of 2010 DT.10.11.2010 Between: Khorshed Shapoor Chennai and another … Petitioners And The Government of Andhra Pradesh rep.by its Secretary, Revenue Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad & others. … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri Syed Khadar Masthan For Sri B.Vijaysen Reddy Counsel for respondents: AGP for Revenue The Court made the following ORDER: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside Memo, dated 28.04.2010, issued by respondent No.3, whereby he has refused to mutate the names of the petitioners in the record of rights on the ground that the land belongs to the Government. At the hearing, Sri Syed Khadar Masthan, learned counsel, representing Sri B.Vijaysen Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners, has fairly conceded that against the impugned Memo, his clients have a right of appeal under Section 5(5) of the A.P.Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’) and a further remedy of revision under Section 9 of the Act. Ordinarily, when an alternative remedy is available, this Court does not entertain a writ petition filed bypassing such alternative remedy. The petitioners failed to make out any ground to treat this case as an exception to this general rule. In view of the same, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed, without going into the merits of the case, with liberty to the petitioners to work out their remedies as indicated above. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.35538 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) Date: 10.11.2010 VGB
