THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.28842 of 2009 ORDER: Assailing the inaction of 2nd respondent in registering the complaint lodged by the 3rd respondent herein and in taking action against the persons who have forged the ‘D’ form pattas, the petitioners filed the present writ petition. According to the petitioners, the land admeasuring Acs. 8561.18 cents comprised in Survey No.1 of Tutipala Village was classified as Chittadivi and certain persons have created fake revenue records and pattas in respect of the said land, showing as it was sub-divided as Survey Nos. 500 , 501 and 502, and pattas issued in an extent of Acs. 22.59 cents in favour of certain individuals. On an earlier occasion, in respect of the very same grievance, the petitioners filed Writ Petition No. 14976 of 2008 and through order dated 14.7.2008, this Court dismissed the writ petition granting liberty to the petitioners therein to move appropriate Criminal Court for the relief sought therein. Subsequently, the petitioners also lodged a complaint before the Lokayukta to take action against the persons, who fabricated the ‘D’ form pattas by forging the signatures of the Mandal Revenue Officer. Thereafter, on 16.10.2009, the District Collector has submitted a report before the Lokayukta stating that certain persons have created fake ’D’ form pattas by forging the signatures of the Mandal Revenue Officer and those pattas were cancelled and necessary action will be initiated against them. It is stated that thereafter the Mandal Revenue Officer has also given a complaint to the 2nd respondent to take action against the persons who have forged his signatures and fabricated ‘D’ form pattas. The only grievance of the petitioners is that even though they made several complaints to the 2nd respondent, the 2nd respondent is not taking any action in the matter. Hence, they filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions. This Court while ordering notice before admission on 31.12.2009, directed the learned Government Pleader to obtain instructions. Thereafter, the matter underwent several adjournments and finally a counter affidavit has been filed by the respondent No.2 on 24.8.2010 stating that a complaint has been received from the third respondent herein in the month of January, 2010 and basing on the said complaint, a case in Crime No. 3/2010 was registered for the offences punishable under Sections 468 and 420 of I.P.C. and during the course of investigation into the said crime, they arrested the accused and on completion of the investigation, charge sheet was filed before the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Narsipatnam on 30.4.2010, which was taken on file as C.C. No.186 of 2010. In view of the aforesaid averments contained in the counter affidavit, no further orders are necessary in the writ petition and the writ petition is accordingly closed. No costs. ________________ N.V.RAMANA,J Date: 25.8.2010 pnb
