THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.22062 of 2008 ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning the order dated 16.08.2008 passed by the 2nd respondent- Joint Collector, Ranga Reddy District. Under the impugned order dated 16.08.2008, the 2nd respondent has dismissed the revision petition filed by the petitioner against the order dated 31.12.2007 passed by the 3rd respondent- Revenue Divisional Officer, Chevella, whereunder pattadar passbook and title deeds issued in favour of the petitioner, pursuant to the order of the Mandal Revenue Officer, Rajendranagar Mandal, dated 02.03.2007, were cancelled and the Deputy Collector & Tahsildar, Rajendranagar Mandal, was directed to incorporate the name of the 5th respondent herein in place of the name of the petitioner in the revenue records relating to the land admeasuring Ac.2-00 situated in Sy.No.57 of Bandlaguda Jagir Village, Rajendranagar Mandal, R.R. District. The 5th respondent has filed a counter-affidavit denying the allegations made in the affidavit filed by the petitioner and supported the impugned order. On perusal of both the orders dated 31.12.2007 and 16.08.2008 passed by the 3rd respondent and the 2nd respondent respectively, it is clear that both the authorities have considered the matter in detail and found that the Mandal Revenue Officer, having passed mutation orders in favour of the 5th respondent herein in respect of the subject property at the first instance, subsequently sanctioned partition orders in respect of the same property in favour of the petitioner, which is illegal and contrary to law. It was also held by the 2nd respondent that civil suits are pending between the parties and that the petitioner filed a suit for partition and unless the rights of the petitioner are declared, his name cannot be mutated in the revenue records. In such circumstances, I am of the opinion that the 2nd respondent has rightly dismissed the revision preferred by the petitioner and confirmed the order of the 3rd respondent. There is no illegality in the impugned order warranting interference of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India and the writ petition is devoid of merits. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 15th December, 2008 IBL
