THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.No.10843 of 2008 Date : 16-11-2010 Between : Syed Tajmul Hussain .. Petitioner And The District Collector, Mahabubnagar District, Office at Mahabubnagar and 2 Others .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.No.10843 of 2008 ORDER: The Petitioner claims that the land admeasuring an extent of Ac.0.25 guntas situate at Wanaparthy Village and Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District was assigned in favour of one, Syed Hussain, who is the father of the Petitioner, vide proceedings No.B3/7394/75, dated 17-11-1975. After the demise of his father, the Petitioner succeeded to the said land as the legal representative. He has filed this Writ Petition aggrieved by the orders of the 3rd Respondent herein- Tahsildar Wanaparthy passed in File No.C/464/2007, dated 26-02-2007 canceling the said assignment on the ground that the land was converted into plots and the assignee was not in enjoyment of the said land and resumed the land to Government custody. It is the contention of the Petitioner that the said order was passed without issuing any notice as per the provisions of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 and therefore the order is not sustainable. It may be mentioned that under the very same impugned order assignments made in favour of several persons in respect of the land situated in various survey numbers were cancelled and some of them approached this Court against the said Order. In W.P.No.20918 of 2007 this Court having regard to the provisions of Section 4-A(1) of the Act, which provides for an appeal against the impugned order to the Revenue Divisional Officer, disposed of the Writ Petition by orders dated 04-10- 2007, permitting those petitioners to file an Appeal within a period of 10 days from the date of receipt of the copy of the order with a direction to the Respondents to maintain status quo with regard to possession. In view of the same, it is admitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner and the learned Government Pleader as well that the same order can be passed in this Writ Petition also. In the circumstances, following the aforesaid orders of this Court, this Writ Petition is disposed of permitting the Petitioner to file an Appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer. If any such Appeal is filed within 10 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, the same shall be entertained and appropriate orders be passed in accordance with law. The Respondents are directed to maintain status quo obtaining as on today until the disposal of the Appeal. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 16th November, 2010. skmr
