HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4875 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner feels aggrieved by certain entries made in the pahanies for the land in Survey Nos.140/1/A and 140/2/A of Durlapally Village, Qutbullapur Mandal. He is said to have been granted Occupancy Rights Certificate under the A.P. (Telangana Area) Abolition of Inams Act, in respect of Acs.7.34 guntas of land in Survey No.140/1/A and Ac.2.00 in Survey No.140/2/A. It is also stated that the pattadar pass book and title deeds were issued to him. The grievance of the petitioner is that in the pahani issued for the present year, the petitioner was shown to be in possession of only 5½ cents in Survey No.140/1/A and no pahani was issued for the other survey number and thereby, the total extent held by the petitioner is reduced to Ac.4.00. The petitioner complains that no notice was issued to him before the extent was reduced. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. There is some uncertainty as to whether pahani/adangal would constitute the record of rights and whether the provision of the A.P. Record of Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass books Act and the Rules made thereunder, apply in relation thereto. Be that as it may, being the superior authority in the administration, the Revenue Divisional Officer can certainly verify the legality and correctness of the action taken by the Mandal Revenue Officer, in reducing the extent of land held by the petitioner. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioner to approach the Revenue Divisional Officer, 3rd respondent herein, by way of an appeal. The 3rd respondent shall entertain the appeal and dispose of the same within a period of two months from the date of presentation of the appeal, calling for the relevant records and the report of the Mandal Revenue Officer. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 12.03.2009 JSU HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4875 of 2009 Date: 12.03.2009 JSU
