(Telangana Area) Abolition of Inams Act, 1955 (for short, the Act) approached third respondent in 1997. His request for occupancy certificate was rejected. Aggrieved by the same, petitioner preferred appeal under Section 24 of the Act before the Joint Collector. By order dt.30.10.2003 the Joint Collector set aside the proceedings of the Revenue Divisional Officer and remanded the matter for fresh enquiry taking into consideration the date of vesting as 1.11.1973. Alleging that third respondent has not initiated any steps in the matter, present Writ Petition is filed. In plain terms, a Writ Petition for directing revenue authorities to pass orders in exercise of their statutory powers in appeals and petitions within a stipulated time does not lie. Further, even according to the petitioner, the Joint Collector remanded the matter to the Revenue Divisional Officer, way back in October 2003. When there was no urgency for the petitioner, suddenly this urgency has cropped up by reason of which, present Writ Petition is filed. If petitioner is aggrieved by inaction of the Revenue Divisional Officer, it is open to him to make application to the Joint Collector or Vigilance Cell in the District Collectorate for redressal. The Writ Petition with the above observations is dismissed. No costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 6.9.2005 bnr
