HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.18404 of 2006 Dated:19.09.2006 Between: Nalla Pentaiah. …Petitioner and The Special Grade Deputy Collector and Revenue Divisional Officer. …Respondent HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.18404 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be protected tenant in respect of the lands in Survey Nos.413, 414, 421 and 422 (old Survey No.5) situated at Thimmapur Village of Kandukur Mandal in Ranga Reddy District, which he allegedly inherited from his father late Papaiah. He also obtained the ownership certificate under Section 38-E of the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950, vide proceedings dated 12.09.1975, and also pattadar pass books subsequent thereto. The landholder filed an appeal before the appellate authority against the ownership certificate before the Joint Collector. The appellate authority by order, dated 27.03.1979, remanded the matter to the respondent to determine the title of the persons concerned in accordance with law. The petitioner is aggrieved by the pendency of the matter before the respondent after the remand by the Joint Collector in March 1979. Even after twenty seven years, the respondent did not dispose of the matter, aggrieved by which, the present Writ Petition is filed. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General), after getting instructions, does not dispute that the case is still pending before the respondent pursuant to the order of remand by the appellate authority in Case No.B4/21315/75, dated 27.03.1979. It is rather surprising that the matter has been kept pending by the original authority, the respondent herein, in an atrocious manner. Such a long pendency of the revenue matters before the quasi-judicial authorities would certainly send wrong signals to the public at large. This Court only observes that as and when the matter is remanded, utmost importance should be given to those matters by the original authority. Learned Assistant Government Pleader submits that the matter now stands posted to 23.09.2006 and on that day the matter will be disposed of. Be it made clear that if the matter is not disposed of on 23.09.2006, this Court shall have to take a very serious view of the same. The Writ Petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 19.09.2006 Note: Issue C.C by tomorrow. B/o. vs
