IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD TUESDAY, THE TWENTY FIFTH DAY OF JANUARY, TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 5067 OF 2002 BETWEEN: Vasamsetti Suryanarayana. …PETITIONER AND Revenue Divisional Officer, Kakinada and another …RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 5067 OF 2002 ORDER: The petitioner assails the notice dated 07-03-2002 issued by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kakinada, whereby he was summoned to attend the office of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kakinada, for an enquiry. The petitioner’s claim was that the second respondent in the writ petition sold a thatched hut in Indrapalem Panchayat, Kakinada Taluk, East Godavari District, to his wife under a registered sale deed dated 19-03-1997, for a sum of Rs.45,000/-. He further claimed that the entire sale consideration amount had been paid and that possession was also delivered. 2. While so, it is his case that the second respondent complained to the authorities that she was paid less consideration. Basing on this complaint, it appears that the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kakinada, issued the impugned notice calling upon the petitioner and the second respondent to attend his office for an enquiry. The impugned notice does not spell out as to what is the scope of the proposed enquiry and under which provision of law, such an enquiry is sought to be conducted. 3. As the sale transaction between the second respondent and the petitioner’s wife was by way of a registered document, the remedies of the second respondent in connection therewith lie elsewhere. She could not have sought the intervention of the revenue authorities. The impugned notice, bereft of legal foundation, cannot therefore be sustained. 4. The writ petition is accordingly allowed setting aside the impugned notice dated 07-03-2002 issued by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kakinada. In the circumstances, there shall be no order as to costs. Date: 25-01-2011. _________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J DSK/INL THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 5067 OF 2002 January 25, 2011 DSK/INL
