REGISTRAR THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.NO.13888 OF 2009 ORAL ORDER The writ petition is filed on the grievance that the respondents have failed to implement the order of the Commissioner, Survey Settlement and Land Records, Hyderabad in proceedings No F4/2750/79 dated 26-05-1982 whereby it was directed that in Old Sy.No.19/140 (Town Sy.No.28/1 and 28/2) of Kandikal village an extent of Ac.8.06 guntas should be recorded as “patta land” in the name of K.Venkatesham who is asserted to be the predecessor of the petitioners. Since the grievance of the petitioners is that they are not being recorded as pattadars of this land in the revenue records, the appropriate remedy is to petition under the provisions of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 (for short “the Act”). In para 12 of the writ petition, it is also asserted that respondents 2 to 6 are attempting to take advantage of the non-recording of the names of the petitioners in the pattadar column in the revenue records by trying to dispossess the petitioners for the purpose of distribution of the land to landless poor persons. The petitioners thus apprehend a potential threat of dispossession by respondents 2 to 6. No overt act or conduct of these respondents is however pleaded. If it is the grievance of the petitioners that they are likely to be dispossessed, they have an appropriate remedy before the civil court of competent jurisdiction for injunction or any other appropriate relief. No case is however made out for grant of a preemptive mandamus by this Court. In the circumstances and on the analysis above, the writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission with liberty to the petitioners to pursue appropriate remedies. No costs. _________________ GODA RAGHURAM,J 14th JULY 2009 *TSNR
