THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16019 of 2009 Date: 15.12.2010 Between: Gangavarapu Narayanappadu and others ..... Petitioners AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh, represented by the Secretary, Hyderabad and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri Venkateswara Rao Gudapati Counsel for Respondent Nos.1 to 4: Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue Counsel for Respondent No.5: Sri N. Siva Reddy The Court made the following: ORDER: At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition itself is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for both the parties. This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside the proceedings dated 16.02.2009 of respondent No.4, whereby he has granted ryotwari patta in favour of respondent No.5 in respect of land admeasuring Acs.10.85 cents and Ac.0.77 cents in R.S.Nos.52/1 and 115/3 of Koppera Village, Poosapatirega Mandal, Vizianagaram District. On 02.12.2010, when W.V.M.P.No.1358 of 2010 filed by respondent No.5 came up for hearing, Sri N. Siva Reddy, learned counsel for respondent No.5, submitted to the Court that petitioner Nos.2 and 3 have also availed the remedy of appeal against the order impugned in this writ petition. In the light of this submission, the case was adjourned to enable the learned counsel for the parties to ascertain the stage of the appeal. Today, at the hearing, the learned counsel for respondent No.5 placed before the Court a copy of notice dated 08.03.2010 issued by the appellate authority i.e., the Revenue Divisional Officer, Vizianagaram, which shows that all the petitioners herein are the appellants in the appeal pending before the appellate authority. The learned counsel for the petitioners has not disputed this position. Inasmuch as the petitioners have already availed the statutory remedy of appeal in order to question the order impugned in this writ petition, a parallel remedy by way of writ petition cannot be maintained. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed, without going into the merits of the case, with liberty to the petitioners to pursue the remedy of appeal already availed by them. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, interim order dated 06.08.2009 in W.P.M.P.No.21035 of 2009 is vacated and W.P.M.P.No.21035 of 2009 and W.V.M.P.Nos.4242 of 2009 and 1358 of 2010 are dismissed as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 15th December, 2010 GHN
