THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.25023 of 2011 ORDER: The relief sought for in this Writ Petition is to permit the petitioner to withdraw the appeal filed in ROR Appeal No.D/1331/2008 pending before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Suryapet, Nalgonda District (respondent herein). The petitioner preferred an appeal to the respondent, under Section 5-B of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’), aggrieved by the grant of certificate dated 09.04.1998, under Section 5-A(4) of the Act, in favour of Smt Chennupati Laxmi. Certain events which transpired thereafter are referred to in the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition which, in the light of the relief claimed, are wholly unnecessary to refer to. Suffice to note that the petitioner had requested the respondent to permit her to withdraw the appeal and, as there was no response thereto, she has invoked the jurisdiction of this Court. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Telangana Area), on instructions, would submit that one Smt Manjula, who claimed to have purchased the property from the petitioner, had filed an implead petition before the respondent herein contending that she had paid valuable consideration for purchase of the land and, since the petitioner had not transferred the land in her favour, she had filed a civil suit which is pending adjudication. Learned Government Pleader would submit that, with a view to enquire further into these aspects, the respondent has adjourned the matter. It is not in dispute that an appeal has been preferred by the petitioner before the respondent. It is for the petitioner to decide whether or not she wishes to pursue the appellate remedy. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Telangana Area) would fairly state that the respondent cannot, and would not, object to any such withdrawal by the petitioner. In such circumstances, the respondent herein is directed to consider the request of the petitioner to withdraw the appeal in ROR Appeal No.D/1331/2008, and pass necessary orders, within a period of three months from today. With the above observations, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. No order as to costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:14.09.2011 Note:CC in one week bo usd
