THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 10533 OF 2011 O R D E R: This Writ Petition is preferred seeking a writ of certiorari for declaring that the 2nd respondent has no jurisdiction to decide Revision Petition No. 19 of 2010 preferred by Respondents 3 and 4 herein. Revision Petition No. 19 of 2010 has been preferred by Respondents 3 and 4 herein calling in question the correctness of orders of Tahasildar, Manopad Mandal, dated nil and File No. Nil in passing and issuing record of rights in favour of Respondents 1 to 4 arrayed in the said Revision. Respondents 1 to 4 in the said Revision are the petitioners herein. Revision Petition No. 19 of 2010 has been preferred under Section 9 of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971. It will be appropriate to notice that Section 9 conferred power on the Collector to, either suo motu or on an application made to him, call for and examine the record of any Recording Authority, Mandal Revenue Officer or Revenue Divisional Officer under Sections 3, 5, 5-A or 5-B, in respect of any record of rights prepared or maintained to satisfy himself as to the regularity, correctness, legality or propriety of any decision taken or order passed or proceedings made in respect thereof. It is therefore, manifestly clear that very wide ranging powers have been conferred upon the Collector under Section 9 of the aforementioned Act. I, therefore, do not see any justifiable ground to come to even a prima facie conclusion that the Collector lacks jurisdiction to entertain the Revision said to have been preferred by Respondents 3 and 4 herein. At this stage, it is not proper for me either to advert or pronounce any opinion on the merits or the lack of it in the said Revision. Therefore, the present Writ Petition is dismissed at the admission stage itself. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 19th April 2011 ksld
