HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.18386 of 2010 Date: July 28, 2010 Between: G. Chandrasekhar Reddy @ G.P. Chandra- Sekhar Reddy, S/o. late Venkata Reddy, Aged 72 years, Occ: Rted., R/o.D.No.2-274/1, Chittoor Road, Piler, Chittoor District … Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Madanapalle, Chittoor District, and another … Respondents Order: This writ petition is filed seeking Mandamus declaring the action of the first respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Madanapalle, Chittoor District, in entertaining the appeal filed by the second respondent-Tahsildar, Piler Mandal, in ROC.A2/1737/2010, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner was issued Pattadar Passbooks and title deeds in respect of the land admeasuring Ac.1.48 cents in Sy.No.76, Piler village and Mandal, Chittoor District. On the ground that the said Pattadar Passbooks were obtained by misrepresentation and playing fraud, the second respondent-Tahsildar, Piler Mandal, issued notice dated 20-02-2009 to the petitioner. The said notice was challenged by the petitioner by filing W.P.No.22614 of 2009 on the ground that the Tahisldar has no authority to enquire into the matter and as much as appeal was filed before the first respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, no enquiry can be conducted by the Tahsildar. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the said writ petition was allowed and there were directions therein to take up the appeal and pass appropriate orders on the plea of the Tahsildar that Pattadar Passbooks were wrongly issued to the petitioner. It is further submitted that the appeal was entertained by the first respondent beyond the period of limitation. If the petitioner is of the view that the appeal ought not to have been entertained beyond the period of limitation, he can raise the said ground before the appellate authority itself. It is also to be noted that there is a direction from this court in W.P.No.22614 of 2009 to the first respondent to take up the appeal filed by the second respondent and pass appropriate orders. For the aforesaid reasons, I do not find any illegality in the action of the first respondent in entertaining the appeal filed by the second respondent. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ___________________ (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) July 28, 2010 MRR
