THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO :1773 of 2010 DATED: 02-02-2010 Between: Padala Vimala Devi. ..... PETITIONER And The Sub-Divisional Police Officer, Rampachodavaram, East Godavari District & 2 others. .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: The Settlement Officer, Rajahmundry, after holding an enquiry, granted ryotwari patta in the name of the father of the petitioner on 18-10-1975 over an extent of Hec.1.97 and Hec.1.69 of land in Sy.Nos.32 & 40 situated in Mallavarapumamillu village, Addateegala mandal, East Godavari District. As against the said order, the Project Officer, I.T.D.A, Rampachodavaram preferred an appeal in A.P.No.5/2001 before the Joint Collector, East Godavari District, and the Joint Collector allowed the said appeal by his judgment, dated 24-04-2002. As against the said order, petitioner approached this Court and filed W.P.No.9847 of 2002, as the father of the petitioner was no more, and this Court was pleased to allow the said Writ Petition by order, dated 06-03-2009, and thus the order passed by the Joint Collector on 24-04-2002 was set aside. 2. In the light of the said order of this Court, the father of the petitioner is entitled for grant of ryotwari patta and as a consequence the petitioner is the owner of the said land. In that context, she approached the respondents 1 and 2 and gave a representation on 28-12-2009 stating that she is entitled to have possession over the land. However, as the 3rd respondent is highhandedly trying to evict her from out of the land in question she sought for protection. As no order has been passed she approached this Court and filed the present Writ Petition. 3. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondents 1 and 2. None appeared for the 3rd respondent. 4. From a perusal of the order, it is clear that the said order passed by the Joint Collector cancelling the ryotwari patta granted in favour of the father of the petitioner was set aside by this Court in W.P.No.9847 of 2002 on 06-03-2009. In my considered view the father of the petitioner and after his demise, the petitioner is entitled to continue to be in possession of the said land. When once a representation in this regard has been given, in my considered view respondents 1 and 2 ought to have passed appropriate orders. Therefore, respondents 1 and 2 are directed to consider the said representation of the petitioner and pass necessary orders and a fresh ryotwari patta shall be issued in favour of the petitioner. 5. Accordingly, Writ Petition is allowed at the stage of admission. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ T.GOPALAKRISHNA,J 02nd February, 2010. Tsy
