Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.S.V.BHATT Counsel for the Respondent: GP FOR REVENUE The Court, at the admission stage, made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer/Sub-Collector in issuing the impugned notice in ROC.No.C3/1529/2004, dated 28.09.2004 by reopening the decision for the lands covered by Order in H.8454-89, dated 29.02.1992, as illegal and contrary to the decision of this Court in W.P.No.5210 of 1992 and consequently to direct the respondent to confine the enquiry for the lands covered by Survey Nos.1, 9/5, 20, 31, 49, 52, 55 and 85 of Kaigallu Village, Baireddypalle Mandal, Chittoor District. The main grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that in earlier round of litigation when he challenged the orders passed by the respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer dated 29.02.1992 and 21.04.1992 by filing Writ Petitions in W.P.Nos.5210 and 9717 of 1992, this Court has allowed the said writ petitions and remitted back the matter to the respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer for fresh disposal in accordance with law after giving notice and opportunity to both sides. It is stated that pursuant to the said orders, the present impugned notice under Section 3 of the Andhra Inams (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act 1956 was issued to the petitioner, for which, he has submitted his objections before the respondent by raising some preliminary objections about the jurisdiction of the settled issues, but the respondent without considering the same is proceeding further in pursuance of the impugned notice. Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Both counsel agreed to dispose of the writ petition itself at the stage of admission with a direction to the respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer/Sub- Collector to consider the preliminary objections raised by the petitioner in the light of the earlier orders passed by this Court and pass appropriate orders. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer/Sub-Collector to consider the preliminary objections raised by the petitioner to the impugned notice dated 28.09.2004 in the light of the orders passed by this Court in W.P.Nos.5210 and 9717 of 1992, dated 29.03.2004 and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. No costs. _______________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 28.01.2005 Nsr/Mrr .....
