THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 15834 OF 2010 Dated: 08.10.2010 Between: Thammineni Chaitanya ..... PETITIONER AND The District Collector and Magistrate, Kurnool and others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 15834 OF 2010 ORDER : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents 1 to 3 in not considering the objections raised by the petitioner for grant of the pattadar passbooks and title deeds in the name of the 5th respondent, is arbitrary and illegal. In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents 2 and 3 it is stated that pattadar passbook and title deed were issued to the respondent 4 in respect of the land in survey Nos.137/2, 137/1 and 140 of Narlapuram Village, Veldurthy Mandal. So far as land in survey No.137/2 is concerned, the respondent 5 submitted an application dated 13.07.2010 for issue of pattadar passbook and title deed producing a copy of the registered sale deed dated 01.02.2010 executed by the respondent 4. Even prior to that the writ petitioner submitted an application dated 09.07.2010 for issue of pattadar passbook and title deed in his favour for the very same land. In support of his claim, the petitioner produced a photocopy of the registered adoption deed. As both the writ petitioner and respondent No.5 made claim in respect of the same property, notices would be issued to both the petitioner and the respondents 4 and 5 as per the provisions of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short, ‘ROR Act’) and appropriate order would be passed. In the light of the stand taken by the respondents 2 and 3 in the counter affidavit, no further enquiry is necessary and accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents 1 to 3 to make an enquiry into the rival claims following due process of law as provided under the ROR Act after due notice to the petitioner as well as the respondents 4 and 5 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of this order. No costs. ___________ Date: 08.10.2010 G. ROHINI, J Ivd
