HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16081 of 2008 Date : 21.07.2011 Between : Gali Rameswara Reddy. …..Petitioner And The Mandal Revenue Officer, Nandyal Rural Mandal, Kurnool District & others. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16081 of 2008 ORDER: Though interlocutory matters are listed for hearing, as it is not in dispute that the revision petition filed by the petitioner is still pending consideration before the 3rd respondent-Joint Collector, the writ petition itself is disposed of. The petitioner claims that he is the owner and possessor of land admeasuring Ac.9.90 cents covered by Sy.No.115 of Mitnala village. The name of the petitioner was recorded as pattadar and possessor in terms of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971. Aggrieved by recording of petitioner’s name as pattadar in the revenue records, respondent No.4 herein approached the appellate authority. The appellate authority, by impugned order, dated 10.03.2008, issued in Proceedings D.Dis.(H) 1309/07, cancelled the pattadar passbook and title deed of petitioner. Aggrieved by the said order of the appellate authority, it appears, the matter is carried in revision before the 3rd respondent-revisional authority, along with an application for interim order. On the ground that the revisional authority is not considering the said appeal and the interim application, the petitioner has approached this Court by filing this writ petition, and this Court, at the stage of admission, granted interim stay by an order dated 25.07.2008. Although it is contended by the learned counsel appearing for petitioner that the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer has passed orders cancelling the petitioner’s pattadar passbook and title deed, without giving any notice or opportunity to him, there is no illegality in the said order. At the same time, the revision preferred by the petitioner before the revisional authority, is pending consideration. As per the scheme of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971, against the orders of the Revenue Divisional Officer, there is a revision provided to the Joint Collector under Section 9 of the Act. As much as the revision preferred by the petitioner is still pending consideration before the revisional authority, it is not desirable for this Court to record any finding on merits. Taking into account the fact that the pattadar passbook and title deeds are initially issued in favour of petitioner, and this Court granted interim order as early as on 25.07.2008, which is continued all along, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the 3rd respondent-Joint Collector to dispose of the revision filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four months from today, with a further direction that the interim stay granted by this Court on 25.07.2008 shall continue to operate till appropriate final orders are passed in the revision, which is pending before the Joint Collector. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _____________________ 21st July 2011 R.SUBHASH REDDY, J ajr
