THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6387 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner was accorded permission by the Mahaboobnagar Municipality to construct a building, over the land in survey Nos.7 and 8 of Mahaboobnagar. Through order, dated 02.03.2007, the District Collector, the first respondent, directed the Municipal Commissioner, Mahaboobnagar, the third respondent, to stop the construction being made by the petitioner, over the land in survey Nos.7 and 8, till the disposal of the case, pending before the Joint Collector. The petitioner states that the dispute between himself and the fourth respondent- temple had reached finality, and despite the same, there is no justification for initiation of second-round of litigation, much less, to prevent him from making construction over the land. The first respondent filed counter-affidavit, whereunder he made extensive reference to the disputes, that are pending in relation to the land. He stated that the revision under Section 9 of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’) is pending before the Joint Collector, and in that view of the matter, the construction being made by the petitioner was stopped. Heard Sri V.Rajagopal Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for respondents 2 and 3, and Sri A.Sudarshan Reddy, learned counsel appearing for respondent No.4. Longstanding disputes were there, between Sri Ambha Bhavani and Sri Hanuman Temple, Mahaboobnagar, on the one hand, and the petitioner, on the other hand. In addition to that, a claim was also made by another person, by name, Anantha Padmanabha Chary. Initially, the proceedings ensued under the provisions of the A.P. (Telangana Area) Charitable Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1966, read with Section 78 of Act 30 of 1987. The Revenue Divisional Officer, Mahaboobnagar, passed an order dated 29.04.1995, dealing with the nature of rights of the parties over the land, in favour of the temple. Anantha Padmanabha Chary, on the one hand, and the petitioner, on the other hand, filed separate appeals under Section 72 of that Act. The appeals were allowed by the District Collector, Mahaboobnagar, through order, dated 23.12.1995. Another round of litigation ensued under the provisions of the Act. At present, a revision under Section 9 of the Act is pending before the Joint Collector. It is no doubt true that the rights of the petitioner were upheld by certain Authorities and he was granted permission to construct a building, over the land by the Municipality. However, on coming to know that the revision is pending, and the interests of various individuals and agencies are involved, the first respondent directed the petitioner to stop the construction. It cannot be said that there is any serious illegality in the impugned order. In case, the rights of the agencies or individuals, who figured as petitioners before the Joint Collector, are upheld, construction being undertaken by the petitioner would lead to several complications. The rights of the parties can be protected by directing early disposal of the revision. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing that the Joint Collector, Mahaboobnagar, shall conclude the hearing and pass appropriate orders in the revision, pending before him, vis-à-vis the lands in survey Nos.7 and 8 of Mahaboobnagar Revenue Village, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J. Dated:24.02.2009 Note: Registry is directed to mark a copy of this order to the Joint Collector, Mahaboobnagar. (B/o) GJ
