The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.23110 of 2010 Date: 20-09-2010 Between: B.Narsimha Reddy. ..... Petitioner AND The Tahsildar, Valigonda Mandal, Nalgonda District and 3 others. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.G.Arun Kumar Counsel for respondent Nos.1 & 2: AGP for Revenue Counsel for respondent Nos.3 & 4: --- The Court made the following: Order: In this Writ Petition, the short and simple grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No.1, without issuing the notice, as required under Section 5 (3) of the Andhra Pradesh Record of Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’), read with Rule 19 of the Andhra Pradesh Record of Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Rules, 1989, has amended the record of rights in favour of respondent Nos.3 and 4. The petitioner further pleads that though he made a representation before respondent No.2, the same is not being considered. At the hearing, Sri G.Arun Kumar, learned Counsel for the petitioner, has not disputed that against the order passed by respondent No.1 making an amendment in the record of rights, a statutory appeal under Section 5 (5) of the Act lies to respondent No.2 and that his client has not availed the said remedy though he has made a representation. In my opinion, when there is an efficacious statutory remedy of appeal available to the petitioner, he ought to have availed the same instead of making representation to respondent No.2. In this view of the matter, the Writ Petition is disposed of, without going into the merits of the case, with liberty to the petitioner to file an appeal before respondent No.2. If such an appeal is filed within a period of four weeks from today, respondent No.2 shall entertain the same and pass appropriate orders in the appeal and/or stay application, after issuing notice to respondent Nos.3 and 4. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.29495 of 2010, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 20th September, 2010 lur
