THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.14687 of 2009 ORAL ORDER: It is the case of the petitioner that he purchased the agricultural land to an extent of Ac.0-56 cents in R.S.No.73/3B, Ac.0-40 cents in R.S.No.73/2B, Ac.0-16 cents in Sy.No.73/3A of Muthyalampadu village, G.Konduru mandal, Krishna district vide Document No.233/2006 dated 25.1.2006. According to the petitioner, even before the purchase, he made enquiries with the Revenue Department and found that the subject land was mutated in the name of his vendor from the year 1982 onwards. When he applied to the respondents for issuance of pattedar passbook and title deed on 15.3.2008, there was no response. Therefore, he had filed Writ Petition No.9275 of 2008 and the said writ petition was disposed of by order dated 25.4.2008 directing the respondents to consider and dispose of the representation dated 15.3.2008 for issuance of pattedar passbooks and title deeds in favour of petitioner. In pursuance of the said order, the impugned order dated 2.7.2009 has been passed by the second respondent rejecting the case of petitioner stating that as per the directions of the District Collector, Krishna in proceedings Rc.No.E3/3886/2007 dated 3.10.2007, the resumed land was distributed in the fourth face on 29.10.2007 and placed before assignment committee for according permission. The learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents stated that the enquiry under the provisions of A.P. Assignment of Land (Prohibition and Transfer) Act, 1977 was taken up by issuing notices to the petitioner as well as others and since there was no response, the second respondent issued proceedings dated 2.7.2009 resuming the land in favour of Government. He further contended that unless the petitioner challenges the said order by way of appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer concerned, probably he is not entitled for any relief in this writ petition. In view of the above, petitioner is directed to file an appeal, as required under law, before the Revenue Divisional Officer questioning the impugned order passed by the second respondent dated 2.7.2009 within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. On filing such appeal, the Revenue Divisional Officer concerned shall entertain the same without raising any objection as to limitation and decide the matter on merits, after putting all the parties on notice. Till such time, Status quo as on today shall be maintained. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 6.8.2009 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.14687 of 2009 6.8.2009
