THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.17373 of 2009 ORDER: According to the petitioners, the 3rd petitioner inherited the land in an extent of Ac.1.90 cents in R.S.No.21/2 of Palankipadu village, Movva Mandal, Krishna District (hereinafter referred to as ‘the subject property’), from his fore-fathers and, as such, he became the absolute owner and possessor of the same. It is their case that the 3rd petitioner executed separate registered gift deeds in favour of the 1st and 2nd petitioners to an extent of Ac.1.16 cents and Ac.0.74 cents respectively, out of the subject property, and accordingly, their names are mutated in the revenue records and pattadar pass books are also issued in their favour by the 3rd respondent. While the matter stood thus, the 4th and 5th respondents herein submitted a representation on 06.08.2008 to the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Machilipatnam, seeking cancellation of Pattadar Pass Books issued in favour of the 1st and 2nd petitioners alleging that the said pattadar pass books were obtained by the petitioners fraudulently. Thereupon, the 2nd respondent has taken up the said representation as an appeal in Rc.C.No.1045/2008 and, by order dated 22.07.2009 allowed the appeal and the pass books issued by the 3rd respondent in favour of the 1st and 2nd petitioners in respect of the subject property were cancelled. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioners filed revision before the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Machilipatnam, Krishna District, along with stay petition. The grievance of the petitioners is that though they preferred the revision along with stay petition before the 1st respondent against the orders dated 22.07.2009 of the 2nd respondent, till date neither the revision is taken up nor the stay petition is disposed of. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondents 1 to 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits, the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Machilipatnam, Krishna District, is directed to take up the revision filed by the petitioners against the orders dated 22.07.2009 in appeal in Rc.C.No.1045/2008 passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Bandar, and pass appropriate orders, as per law, after hearing the parties concerned, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, status quo obtaining as on today, as to the entries pertaining to the land in an extent of Ac.1.90 cents in R.S.No.21/2 of Palankipadu village, Movva Mandal, Krishna District, in the revenue records, shall be maintained.
