The said order was passed by the Joint Collector, Nalgonda in a Revision Petition filed by the petitioner along with 8 others under Section 9 of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971. The Joint Collector while disposing of the Revision Petition, issued certain directions for rectification of entries in Revenue Records and directed the 1st respondent herein to implement the said orders and report compliance. The petitioner states that though the said order was passed on 18-12-2004, in spite of several representations made by the petitioner requesting to implement the directions of the Joint Collector, the first respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer failed to take any action. Hence, this writ petition. Heard the leaned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. On a perusal of the material on record, I find force in the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the 1st respondent is bound to implement the order of the Joint Collector, Nalgonda, provided the said order is not varied or reversed by any competent Court or Statutory Authority. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, to take necessary steps in terms of the order of the Joint Collector, Nalgonda, dated 18-12-2004 expeditiously. No order as to costs. ____________ G. ROHINI, J Dated: 23-02-2005 Note: Furnish C.C. in a week B/o.
