Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.J.SATYA PRASAD Counsel for the Respondents: MR.B.MAHENDER REDDY AND G.P. FOR REVENUE The Court made the following O R D E R: This writ petition is filed with the following prayer: “For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, it is prayed that the Honourable Court may be pleased to issue a writ or any order more particularly one in the nature of writ of certiorari and call for the records in the proceedings No.F2/934/1999, dated 31.03.2001 and quash the said proceedings and consequently cancel the certificate of ownership issued to Sanna family relating to Ac.6.68 gts, issued by the respondent No.16 in Sy.Nos.94 and 95 and pass such other orders.” When this petition has come up for hearing, learned senior counsel appearing for respondents 2 to 5 took an objection with regard to maintainability of the writ petition since the petitioners have a statutory remedy provided under A.P. (Telangana Area) Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950, (for short ‘the Act’). Learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioners does not dispute the remedy available to the petitioners under the Act. The subject matter in the writ petition relates to the order passed by the appellate authority under the Act. Section 91 of the Act provides revision against the orders passed by the appellate authority under Section 90 of the Act. Since a statutory remedy is provided to the petitioners under the Act, they have to exhaust the remedy before invoking the writ jurisdiction of this Court. Hence the writ petition is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioners to file a revision within four weeks as provided under Section 91 of the Act. No costs. ______________ 08.06.2005 usd To 1) The Joint Collector, R/o. Kompalli Village, Quthabukpur Mandal, R.R. District. A.P. 2) The Revenue Divisional Officer, Ranga Reddy East Division, R/o.
