HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W. P. NO : 19329 of 2009 DATED: 11.09.2009 Between: Dyda Narayana Reddy ..... PETITIONER AND 1. The Special Deputy Collector 2. The Tahsildar 3. Surakanti Mohan Reddy .....RESPONDENTs O R D E R:- The petitioner states that he is the absolute owner and possessor of agricultural land admeasuring Ac.3.27 guntas in Sy. No.487/AA situated at Ashwapuram village and Mandal, Khammam District, having succeeded to the same e from his father. He states that the revenue authorities also issued pattedar passbooks and title deeds in his favour. Now, the petitioner’s grievance is that the 1st respondent, without affording opportunity of being heard, issued the impugned proceedings dated 26.08.2008, directing the 2nd respondent to eject the 3rd respondent from the immovable property, and to take possession of the same for the purpose of assigning to eligible landless poor tribals. Questioning such action of the 2nd respondent as illegal and arbitrary, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. The learned Government Pleader for Tribal Welfare appearing for the 1st respondent and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the 2nd respondent submitted that as against the orders passed by the Special Deputy Collector, an appeal lies to the Agent to the Government (Collector, Khammam) under Rule 8 of the Andhra Pradesh (Scheduled Areas) Land Transfer Regulation Rules, 1969, and the petitioner, without exhausting the said effective alternative remedy of appeal, has filed the writ petition, and prayed that same may be dismissed. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleaders appearing for the respective respondents, and having regard to the fact the petitioner, without exhausting the effective alternative remedy of appeal available to him against the impugned order, has filed the present writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: “The petitioner is directed to file appeal against the impugned order before the Agent to the Government as provided under Section 8 of the Andhra Pradesh (Scheduled Areas) Land Transfer Rules, 1969 along with an application seeking stay of the impugned orders, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.” Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________ N.V.RAMANA, J 11.09.2009 bcj
