IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE SIXTH DAY OF SEPTEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.22195 of 2010 Between: M. Madanna … Petitioner And The District Collector, Kurnool, Kurnool District & another. … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri C. Hanumantha Rayudu Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Revenue The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.22195 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.2 in including the land of the petitioner admeasuring Ac.2.28 cents comprised in Sy.No.402/1 of Dinnedevarapadu Village, Kurnool Mandal and District, vide his proceedings dated 14.03.2007, as illegal and arbitrary. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the assignment made in favour of his father as far back as 15.09.1932 did not contain the condition of alienation, respondent No.2 under the impugned proceedings communicated a list of the lands prohibited for registration to the Sub-Registrar. It is not the pleaded case of the petitioner that he has made a representation to respondent No.2 before approaching this Court by way of the present writ petition. The law is well settled that an aggrieved person is required to first demand justice before seeking a writ of Mandamus. (Kamini Kumar Das Choudhury vs. State of West Bengal[1] and Amrit Lal Berry, K.N. Kapur vs. Collector of Central Excise Central Revenue[2]) The writ petition is therefore dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to approach respondent No.2 with an appropriate representation for redressal of his grievance. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.28275 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also dismissed. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 06.09.2010.
