IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE TWENTY FIRST DAY OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.14024 OF 2010 Between: Kota Ramesh Kumar and another .....PETITIONERS AND The Collector and District Magistrate, Warangal and others ....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.14024 OF 2010 ORDER: Aggrieved by the order passed by the Tahsildhar, Warangal Mandal, in R.C.No.B2/923/2010 dated 29.05.2010 refusing their request to mutate their names in respect of the lands in Survey Nos.689 and 690 of Urus Village, Warangal Mandal, the petitioners approached this Court. It is the claim of the petitioners that the said property was bequeathed to them by one Ankam Ramaiah, whose name had been mutated in the Revenue Records by the Tahsildhar, Warangal Mandal, on 01.12.2007. They therefore assail the rejection of their request for carrying out necessary mutation in their favour on the basis of the will said to have been executed by Ankam Ramaiah in their favour. The order impugned is appealable under Section 5 (5) of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971. In the light of the efficacious alternative remedy available to the petitioners, this Court is not inclined to entertain this writ petition. It is for the petitioners to invoke the statutory remedy available to them in law. The exercise of extra-ordinary jurisdiction by this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution is not for the purpose of circumventing statutory remedies. The Writ Petition is therefore not maintainable and is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission. It is open to the petitioners to invoke the jurisdiction of the appellate authority as aforementioned, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________________ JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR June 21, 2010 MD
