THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO Writ Petition No.22599 of 2001 ORDER: First respondent issued a preliminary notification under Section 3(1) of the Andhra Pradesh Districts (Formation) Act, 1974, proposing to alter the name of revenue village. Effect of the proposal is that Tripuranthakapuram palem (T.P.Palem) is a revenue village and Tripuranthakapuram Kota (T.P.Kota) is a hamlet. By a Gazette notification dated 19.03.1999, objections were invited. Petitioner submitted objections. By an endorsement dated 20.08.2001, second respondent informed the petitioner that T.P.Palem cannot be made as main revenue village. Petitioner contends that his objections are not properly considered and even before they were considered, endorsement was issued by second respondent. Therefore, he again filed instant writ petition seeking direction to third respondent to consider his objections. This Court heard learned counsel for petitioner. He has taken this Court through the endorsement in reference No.D2/6036/99 dated 20.08.2001. A reading of the same would show that the final notification has not yet been issued by the District Collector, Chittoor. Except stating that objections submitted by the petitioner have been examined, there is no discussion with regard to objections or as to their unsustainability. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of directing the District Collector, Chittoor to give opportunity to the petitioner and hear him before issuing final notification under the Andhra Pradesh Districts (Formation) Act, 1974. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) August 26, 2009 Bvv
