D. PRAMADA Counsel for the Respondents: G.P. FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: The petitioner states that her husband, by name Darsanam, purchased an extent of Ac.1.09 gts. of land in S.No.313 of Gundlapochampalli Village from one Mr. Gadilam Laxma Reddy in the year 1983. She stated that on the basis of the same, mutation proceedings as well as pattadar passbook and title deeds were issued. The petitioner alleges that when her husband was in prolonged ill-health, the respondents made certain entries in the revenue records contrary to the sale deeds, pattadar pass book and title deeds. It is alleged that she made a representation dt.2.1.2008 to the fourth respondent with a request to correct the entries. Her grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Andhra Pradesh Right in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 (for short, the Act) prescribes procedure for making as well as alteration of entries in the revenue records. The entries are required to be in conformity with pattadar passbook and title deeds. The petitioner states that though the entries were properly made upto the year 1994-95, manipulation started thereafter without any basis. The Act itself provides for remedy of appeal against any orders or proceedings of the fourth respondent. Instead of requiring the fourth respondent to correct the entries, the petitioner can avail the remedy of appeal before the third respondent. In case, the appeal is presented within four weeks from today, it shall be entertained without any objection as to limitation. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the petitioner may file an appeal before the third respondent within four weeks from today and if such an appeal is filed within four weeks from today, it shall be entertained without any objection as to limitation. The third respondent shall pass appropriate orders, after issuing notice to the affected parties, including the persons, whose names are entered in the revenue records, within a period of three months from the date of filing of the appeal by the petitioner. No costs. ______________________ (L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J) 24.4.2009 bnr Note: Issue C.C. in one week. (B.O) bnr
