(Andhra Area) Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1948, or A.P. (Andhra Area) Inams (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1956 (for short “the Inams Act”). After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the respondents, at length, it ultimately emerges that the primary authority under the Inams Act, has already granted patta in favour of the 5th respondent Devasthanam. It is also stated that the petitioners have since preferred an appeal under Section 7(2) of that Act, and the same is pending. In view of the above, nothing remains to be decided in this writ petition, and it is accordingly dismissed, as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ 24th January 2008 PAN
