THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY WRIT PETITION No .11769 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition has been filed assailing the Memo No.B/ROR/834/2008, dated 24.04.2010, whereunder and whereby the application of the petitioner for validation of simple sale deed, dated 07.02.1992, has been rejected. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. When the writ petition came up for admission, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the Tahsildar-4th respondent without application of mind issued the Memo and therefore, the writ petition is maintainable. The learned counsel refers to the direction given by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Jagtial-3rd respondent to the 4th respondent to make a thorough enquiry on the issue and pass appropriate orders in accordance with the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’). Indisputably, the petitioner filed an application for validation of simple sale deed. The said application came to be rejected by the 4th respondent vide Memo dated 24.04.2010. Section 5-B of the Act provides an appeal against the orders passed by the Tahsildar under Section 5-A of the Act. Since the petitioner has an efficacious remedy by way of appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, I am of the view that the writ petition cannot be maintained. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. _________________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J Date:20.05.2010 sj
