THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH W.P. No. 20289 of 2007 Date:30-11-2007 Between: Mannur Seethamma and three others … Petitioners AND The Govt. of A.P. rep. by its District Collector, Kadapa and two others .. Respondents ORDER: The petitioners seek a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in trying to take possession of the lands belonging to them in an extent of Ac.1.50 cents each in Sy.No.1253/3- 6 of Thallapaka village, Rajampet mandal, Kadapa District for Rajiv Swagruha Housing Scheme through the proceeding in Ref.No.C/435/2007, dated 05.09.2007 issued by the 3rd respondent on the ground of violation of the condition No.2 of the D.Form pattas granted in their favour during the year, 1996, as arbitrary and illegal and consequently to direct the respondents not to take the possession of the said lands. Admittedly, as against the order passed by the third respondent/Tahsildar, Rajampet in Ref.No.C/435/2007, dated 05.09.2007, an appeal lies to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Rajampet. In view of the fact that as there is an effective alternative remedy of filing an appeal and as the impugned order also goes to show that an appeal lies to Revenue Divisional Officer, Rajampet, I am of the opinion that the petitioners can be permitted to file an appeal before the authority concerned. Having regard to the facts of the case, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to avail the alternative remedy of filing of an appeal before the appropriate authority. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. Date:30.11.2007 ccm
