THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHAN RAO WRIT PETITION NO.20538 OF 2011 21st July 2011. BETWEEN: JANNE DIWAKAR .. PETITIONER AND THE STATE OF A.P., REP. BY ITS DISTRICT COLLECTOR, CHITTOOR DISTRICT AND OTHERS .. RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHAN RAO WRIT PETITION NO.20538 OF 2011 O R D E R : The writ petitioner is said to be presently serving the Indian Navy. He was assigned land of an extent of Ac.5.00 cents. But, however, not due to the fault of the writ petitioner the same land appears to have assigned in favour of another party earlier and without cancelling that assignment, the petitioner seems to have assigned the said land. In view of these factual disputes the Revenue Divisional Officer, Madanapalle passed orders on 30.5.2011 for cancellation of the assignment made in respect of land of Ac.5.00 cents situated in S.No.620/2 of Kollabailu village of Madanapalle Mandal, Chittoor District and to resume the land to the government and to assign to S.Jdars or landless poor persons. Against these orders of the Revenue Divisional Officer in terms of Sec.9 of The Rights in Pass Land and Pattedar Books Andhra Pradesh Act, 1971 (for short the Act) a revision has been preferred before the Joint Collector, Chittoor District bearing No.E4/6306/2011. There is also a stay application moved therein. Since no stay has been granted so far, the present writ petition has been filed. The fact that the petitioner is serving Indian Navy is not in doubt. Question is as to whether he could have been assigned land or not? Till now the assignment granted in his favour was subsisting. It is only cancelled by the orders of the Revenue Divisional Officer on 30-5-2011. Therefore, the balance of convenience lies in favour of the petitioner. He cannot be dispossessed from the land in question and if he were to be dispossessed now and then the same land was to be assigned to other third parties, unnecessarily third party interests will creep in during the pendency of the revision before the Joint Collector. Hence, the Joint Collector may take up the revision said to have been preferred by the petitioner and deal with the same in accordance with law and dispose of as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of this order. Till the disposal of the revision by the Joint Collector the orders of the Revenue Divisional Officer dated 30.5.2011 may not be given effect to. The writ petition stands disposed of, in terms of the above order as suggested by the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Dt: 21-07-2011.
