THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24686 of 2010 Dated 04th October, 2010 Between: Tulja and others …Petitioners And The District Collector, Ranga Reddy District and others. …Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Mr. Syed Khader Masthan Counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 4: Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue Counsel for respondent Nos.5 to 7: -- The Court made the following: ORDER: The petitioners claim to be the owners of land admeasuring Acs.10.06 guntas in survey No.235 AA and Acs.14.04 guntas in survey No.236 AA of Parigi Village and Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. It is their pleaded case that at the instance of the father of respondent Nos.5 to 7, his name was mutated in respect of a part of the above extents of land and that when an application was made before respondent No.4 on coming to know about the said fact for issuance of certified copy of the relevant proceedings, respondent No.4 has informed the petitioners through his memo dated 30.01.2010 that certain files are not traceable. Thereupon the petitioners are stated to have made several representations to respondent No.1, who in turn has referred them to respondent No.3 and that respondent No.3 has directed respondent No.4 to take appropriate action. Alleging inaction on the part of respondent No.4, the petitioners filed the present writ petition. In my opinion, if the petitioners felt aggrieved by the mutation of the name of the father of respondent Nos.5 to 7 in the record of rights, they are entitled to file an appeal before respondent No.3 under Section 5(5) of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’). The petitioners also have a further remedy of revision under Section 9 of the Act before respondent No.1. The petitioners are, therefore, entitled to invoke these remedies instead of making representations to the revenue officials. Subject to the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.31593 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 04th October, 2010 GHN
