THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5620 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners feel aggrieved by the action of the Mandal Revenue Officer, Sattupally, the 4th respondent, in issuing pattadar pass books and title deeds in favour of respondents 5 to 7. It is stated that the petitioners are owners of land in survey No.117 of Ayyagaripeta Village, Sattupally Mandal, Khammam District, and they were issued pattdar pass books and title deeds. Their grievance is that respondents 5 to 7 were issued pattadar pass books in respect of the very land, without issuing any notice to them. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The alleged exercise undertaken by the 4th respondent is referable to his powers under the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act (for short ‘the Act’). Even assuming that the 4th respondent has committed illegality in issuing pattadar pass books and title deeds to respondents 5 to 7, the petitioners have to work their remedies by filing an appeal under Section 5(5) of the Act, before the Revenue Divisional Officer. The appellate authority would be in a better position to appreciate the matter, after calling for the relevant records. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioners to avail the remedy of appeal. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J.
