THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27026 of 2007 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner seeks a mandamus declaring the action of respondents 1 to 3 in not issuing title deeds and pattadar passbooks in respect of land of an extent of Acs.4.02 guntas, Acs.4.09 guntas, Acs.2.23 guntas, Acs.4.17 guntas and Acs.7.12 guntas covered by Survey Nos.409, 417/1, 416, 420/E and 419/1 respectively, and not taking any action against the fourth respondent in tampering revenue records by incorporating the names of various others, in spite of submitting representations, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner claims that she purchased land of an extent of Acs.24.17 guntas by various sale deeds numbering about 6 on 03.02.2006, 06.02.2006 and 13.02.2006. Thereafter, she applied for mutation of rights, by application, dated 17.02.2006. The first respondent - Tahsildar, Paloncha, Khammam, vide order bearing No.ROR/A/169/2006, dated 26.07.2006, issued pattadar passbooks in her favour to an extent of Acs.16.07 guntas of land. It is the grievance of the petitioner that for remaining extent of the land, revenue records were tampered and the names of Smt. Yadamakanti Malleswari and Smt. Gajula Kanaka Durgamba in Survey No.409, Smt. Yadamakanti Malleswari, Bikkasani Vanalatha, Katireddy Laxma Reddy and Tandra Vinodarao in Survey No.417/1, Smt. Katireddy Nagamani and Tandra Vinoda Rao in Survey No.416, Dasari Venkataprasad and Sani Bhaskar in Survey No.419/1 and Sani Bhaskar in Survey No.420/E, were entered and in spite of the representation submitted by the petitioner, no steps have been taken by respondents 1 to 3 for issuance of pattadar passbooks in respect of remaining extent of the land as referred to above. The relief sought for in the writ petition cannot be granted to the petitioner for more than one reason. Even according to the petitioner, third party names were entered in the revenue records but such parties are not even made as party respondents in the writ petition. In any event, in the absence of impleadment of such persons, whose names were entered in the revenue records, it is not known on what basis their names have been figured in the revenue records. If such entries are made unauthorizedly, it is for the petitioner to move appropriate application under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’), but without making any such application and in the absence of any finding on which basis the names of such persons were recorded, the petitioner cannot seek the relief of issuance of mutation proceedings for the land, which stands in the name of third parties. Even otherwise, against the aforesaid order passed by the primary authority, there is also a right of appeal under Section 5 of the Act and further, revision to the Joint Collector under Section 9 of the Act. In that view of the matter, I do not find any valid ground made out by the petitioner for grant of relief to her as prayed for, more particularly, in the absence of third parties not being made as party respondents in the writ petition. For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petition is dismissed. However, it is made clear that with regard to land purchased by the petitioner, if there are any entries incorporating the names of third parties in the revenue records, this order will not preclude the petitioner to move appropriate application for correction of entries and to take further steps for mutation in accordance with law. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 29th OCTOBER, 2010. kvni
