HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No. 3605 OF 2010. DATED 18TH FEBRUARY, 2010. BETWEEN Veeramreddigari Chinnapa Reddy ….Petitioner and The Commissioner of Appeals Land Administration, AP, at Hyderabad, and, ors ….Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No. 3605 OF 2010. ORDER: This Writ Petition is ﬁled seeking a Mandamus to declare the action of the ﬁrst respondent in not granting suspension of the orders of the second respondent dated 25.7.2009 while admitting the revision as arbitrary, illegal and contrary to the Board Standing Orders and for a consequential direction to set aside the proceedings of the second respondent dated 25.7.2009 conﬁrming the orders of the third respondent dt. 25.6.2003. Heard both sides. It appears that the mother of the petitioner one Veeramreddigari Ramakka was assigned an extent of Ac.3.00 cents of land in Sy.No. 697/3B of Rachavetivaripalle village, Nimmanapalle Mandal, Chittoor District on 17.9.1968. According to the petitioner, after 33 years of granting patta in favour of his mother, the ﬁfth respondent herein has ﬁled an appeal stating that he belongs to BC Community and as he is in continuous possession of the said property, the assignment made in favour of the mother of the petitioner shall be cancelled. After conducting a detailed enquiry, the Sub-Collector/third respondent passed order dated 25.6.2003 holding that mother of the petitioner is a wealthy person and not entitled for allotment of DKT patta and therefore cancelled the assignment. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner ﬁled revision petition before the Joint Collector/second respondent, which was dismissed on 25.7.2009. Aggrieved thereby, further, the petitioner ﬁled revision before the ﬁrst respondent. According to the learned Counsel for the petitioner, though the ﬁrst respondent admitted the revision, stay petition ﬁled by the petitioner along with the revision is not disposed of . Therefore, this Writ Petition. Though the learned Counsel argued on merits of the case saying that the very appeal ﬁled by the respondent before the Sub-Collector is not maintainable inasmuch as it was ﬁled after 33 years of granting DKT Patta in favour of the mother of the petitioner and, neither the Sub Collector nor the Joint Collector gave any categorical ﬁnding that the mother of the petitioner was not a landless poor person at the time of allotment of DKT patta in the year 1968 and therefore, the orders passed by the Sub Collector and Joint Collector are arbitrary and illegal. It is a fact that in the year 1968, DKT patta in respect of the land in question was granted to the mother of the petitioner and after lapse of 33 years of the same, a ﬁnding was given that the mother of the petitioner is not cultivating the land all along and the petitioner is not in possession of the said land. Under these circumstances, ends of justice would be met by directing the respondents to maintain status as on today with regard to possession of the land till the disposal of the revision by the first respondent. Accordingly the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the ﬁrst respondent to consider and dispose of the revision purported to have been ﬁled by the petitioner against the order of the Joint Collector dated 25.7.2009 within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, status quo as on to day as to possession of the land in question shall be maintained. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the admission stage. No costs. ----------------------------------- JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU DATED 18T H FEBRUARY, 2010. MSNR.
