THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO.4264 OF 2009 06.08.2009 Between: G. Shanthamma, W/o. Govindarajulu R/o.Veeraka Nellore Village, Gangadhara Nellore Mandal Chittoor District And The State of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. By its Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Secretariat, Saifabad, Hyderabad, and others THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO.4264 OF 2009 ORDER: The Writ Petition is filed to declare the impugned order passed by the Joint Collector, Chittoor, in Proceedings No.D. DIS (E1)/5099/1995, dt.11.4.2007, as illegal and void and to direct the respondent Nos.2 and 3 to restore the assignment of Acs.4.56 of land in S.No.25/3 of Veeraka Nellore Village, Gangadhara Mandal, Chittoor District. It appears, the petitioner and the fourth respondent are the rival claimants against Acs.4.56 of land in S.No.25/3 of Veeraka Nellore Village. This was the subject matter of the proceedings of the Joint Collector, Chittoor, dt.11.4.2007, whereunder the Joint Collector held that the petitioner and the fourth respondent are not entitled for assignment and the land may be resumed to the Government. Aggrieved by the same, it appears, the fourth respondent has already filed an appeal, being Appeal No.DCW/417 of 2007, before the Commissioner of Land Revenue and the same is pending. Insofar as the petitioner is concerned, she has straightaway filed this writ petition bypassing the alternative remedy available to her under law. Under those circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to file a regular appeal before the Commissioner of Land Revenue and on filing of such an appeal, the same shall be entertained without raising any objection as to the limitation, as the other appeal filed by fourth respondent against the very same impugned order is pending before him. During the pendency of the appeal, status quo as on today shall be maintained by all the parties. With the above directions, the Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ C.V. RAMULU, J 6.8.2009 bnr
