The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.23107 of 2010 Date: 20-09-2010 Between: Sapat Sayappa ..... Petitioner AND The State of A.P., rep. by the Tahsildar, Office of the Tahsildar Utkoor Mandal, Utkoor District, Mahabubnagar and another. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.Bajrang Singh Thakur Counsel for respondent No.1: AGP for Revenue Counsel for respondent No.2: --- The Court made the following: Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside Memo of Endorsement in File No.B/4122/2010, dated 07- 09-2010, issued by the Tahsildar, Utkur Mandal, Mahabubnagar District. The petitioners claim to have purchased an extent of Ac.18-14 guntas of land in Survey No.753 at Pedda Jetram Village of Utkur Mandal, Mahabubnagar District. They approached the Tahsildar, Utkur Mandal, Mahabubnagar District, for mutation of their names in the revenue record but the same was rejected by the impugned endorsement. I have heard Sri Bajrang Sigh Thakur, learned Counsel for the petitioners, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue representing respondent No.1. Perused the record. At the hearing, the learned Counsel for the petitioners has not disputed that the petitioners have an alternative remedy of statutory appeal available under Section 5 (5) of the Andhra Pradesh Record of Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’) against the impugned order passed by the Tahsildar, Utkur Mandal, Mahabubnagar District, refusing to make amendment in the record of rights, and that his clients have not availed the said remedy. In my opinion, when there is an efficacious statutory remedy of appeal available to the petitioners, they ought to have availed the same instead of invoking this Court’s jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Ordinarily, this Court does not entertain the Writ Petitions, filed bypassing the effective alternative remedy. In this view of the matter, the Writ Petition is dismissed, without going into the merits of the case, with liberty to the petitioners to avail the above-mentioned remedy. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.29486 of 2010, filed by the petitioners for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 20th September, 2010 lur
