THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO.2851 of 2010 Dated: 22.04.2010 Between: Alluri Venkata Satya Gopal Raju And others. .. Petitioners. And The Joint Collector, Visakhapatnam, and others. .. Respondents. ORDER: The petitioners claim to be owners and possessors of various extents of land in Sy.No.237/2 situated at China Boddepalli village, Kotavarutla Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, and pattadar pass book and title deeds have also been issued in their favour. While so, on a petition filed by the 4th respondent, who is in no way concerned with the subject property, before the 3rd respondent-Tahsildar, Kotavarutla Mandal, Visakhapatnam, in the year 2009, requesting to cancel the patta pass books issued in favour of the petitioners, the 3rd respondent submitted a report to the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Narsipatnam, pursuant to which, the 2nd respondent ultimately issued proceedings in Rc.No.251/09/B/B, dated 28.07.2009, cancelling the pattadar pass books and title deeds issued in favour of the petitioners. Questioning the said proceedings, the petitioners filed revision petition, along with stay petition, before the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Visakhapatnam, under Section 9 of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971, and they also filed civil suits before the competent civil court seeking permanent injunction, as the 4th respondent was trying to enter into the subject lands without any right or title over the same. The grievance of the petitioners is that so far the 1st respondent has neither passed any orders in the stay petition nor taken up the revision petition for disposal, and taking advantage of this situation, the 3rd respondent-Tahsildar, Kotavarutla Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, is taking steps to collect the Pattadar Pass Book and title deeds from them with regard to the subject lands and delete the entries thereto in the said Pattadar pass books and title deeds. Hence, the petitioners filed this writ petition seeking appropriate directions. While issuing notice before admission on 10.02.2010, this Court granted interim stay of proceedings dated 28.07.2009 issued by the 2nd respondent. Today, when the petition is taken up for consideration, learned counsel for the unofficial respondent brought to the notice of this Court that the revision petition and the stay petition filed along with revision petition against the proceedings dated 28.07.2009 are still pending. He also submits that even though this Court granted interim stay of the proceedings dated 28.07.2009, the 3rd respondent has deleted the entries, pertaining to the subject lands, in the Pattadar Pass books and title deeds, as per the directions of the 2nd respondent. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondents 1 to 3 and the learned counsel for the unofficial respondent and all of them agreed to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: “The 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Visakhapatnam, is directed to dispose of the revision petition preferred by the petitioners against the proceedings dated 28.07.2009 passed by the 2nd respondent, as per law, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, interim stay granted by this Court on 10.02.2010 shall continue.” Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ____________ N.V.RAMANA,J 22.04.2010 v v
