THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1778 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners submitted an application, dated 14.10.2008, before the Tahsildar, Tiryani Mandal, Adilabad District, the second respondent herein, with a request to furnish the copies of the khasra pahani for the lands in Survey Nos.172, 188 and 199, admeasuring Acs.7.32, Acs.7.22 and Acs.1.08 guntas respectively of Ullipitta Dorli Village, Tiryani Mandal, Adilabad District. Through a Memo, dated 24.10.2008, the second respondent replied stating that the jamabandi for the year 2004-2005 was implemented and in that view of the matter, the survey numbers referred to above are not in the khasra pahani. The same is challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The khasra pahani of erstwhile State of Hyderabad was prepared for the year 1954-55. That is treated as the basic and standard record vis-à-vis the rights of enjoyment over the lands. Even assuming that any subsequent changes have taken place over the years, the question of khasra pahani being amended does not arise. The reply given by the second respondent is totally untenable and factually incorrect. In a way, it exhibits his irresponsibility in the matter of discharging his duties. The petitioners clearly state that the lands with the above survey numbers have been notified for acquisition. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is allowed and the impugned Memo is set aside. The second respondent is directed to issue the certified copy of khasra pahani for the lands in Survey Nos. 172, 188 and 199 of Ullipitta Dorli Village, Tiryani Mandal, Adilabad District, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, irrespective of the changes or implementation of jamabandi during the subsequent years. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:25.02.2009 kdl
