Learned counsel for the petitioner has made various submissions based upon the averments in the affidavit that the petitioners are bona fide purchasers of the property for a valuable consideration and that the registered document of sale in their favour was given effect to by the Mandal Revenue Officer. Under the impugned order the Joint Collector interfered with the same. It is, however, on record that civil suits between the parties concerning the very same claim as made by the parties against each other are pending before a competent Civil Court in O.S.No.65 of 1996 and 186 of 1996 before the II Senior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy. The competent Civil Court has also passed interim orders therein. The learned Joint Collector has noticed the aforesaid fact and has directed the revenue authorities to await the decision of the Civil Court as would be finally determined. The Revenue Authorities i.e., the official respondents 1 and 2 herein are bound to give effect to the decision of the Civil Court and the entries in the revenue record has to await the decision of the Civil Court. In view of that, nothing further survives to be adjudicated in this writ petition. With the above observation the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________ 22nd December, 2008 SKM
