Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.KOWTURU VINAYA KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 22010 of 2008 ORDER: Aggrieved by the order issued by the ﬁrst respondent in ROR Appeal Case Nos. E/3329 of 2007 and E/211 of 2008 dated 22.08.2008 cancelling the passbooks and title deeds standing in their names petitioners filed this Writ Petition. The case, in brief, of the petitioners is that they purchased land admeasuring Ac.3-26 gts in Sy.No.211/E, 208 and 209 situated at Govindarajupalli village, Hathnoor Mandal of Medak District under two registered sale deeds dated 02.08.2002 from the sixth respondent and their names were mutated in the revenue records and pattedar passbooks and title deeds were issued to them as per ROR Act. It is further stated that the ﬁrst respondent initiated impugned proceedings on the appeal ﬁled by the third respondent who alleged to have acquired right and title by virtue of sale deeds dated 03.09.2008 and 13.09.2008 executed by respondents 5, 7, 8 and 9 for total extent of Ac.13-28 gts, for issuance of pattedar pass books and title deeds to her claiming that sixth respondent i.e. the vendor of the petitioners has no right to alienate the part of the property to the petitioners as the respondents 4, 5 and one Smt. Nagalaxmi have purchased the said land from one Juttu Kistaiah. It is further contended that the ﬁrst respondent, without giving any opportunity to them to putforth their contentions, has passed the impugned order canceling their passbooks and title deeds over the land which they allegedly purchased from the sixth respondent and ordered to carry out necessary amendments in the revenue records by issuing pass books and title deeds to the third respondent. Hence this Writ Petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue submitted that as against the order impugned in this Writ Petition the petitioners have an alternative remedy of appeal under Section 9 of the ROR Act to the Joint Collector and without availing such remedy the petitioners have approached this Court. In view of the contention made by the learned Government Pleader for Revenue that against the order of the ﬁrst respondent impugned in this Writ Petition an alternative remedy of appeal to the Joint Collector is available to the petitioners under Section 9 of the ROR Act, this Writ Petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to avail such eﬀective and alternative remedy of appeal before the Joint Collector. No order as to costs. -------------------------- 14.10.2008 N.V.RAMANA, J.
