THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.19034 of 2002 DATED:14.10.2009 Between: Isnaka Anandamohan Reddy. …Petitioner And State of A.P., Rep.by District Collector, Nellore, And another. …Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.19034 of 2002 ORDER: The petitioner was granted a ryotwari patta under Section 7 of the Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) Inams (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1956 (the Act, for brevity), by the Inams Deputy Tahasildar by proceedings dated 22.01.1984. When the same was not implemented even after a decade, he filed W.P.No.22289 of 1996 for a direction to consider his representation dated 29.12.1995 for implementation of ryotwari patta. This Court disposed of the writ petition on 17.10.1996 directing the respondents to consider the representation. Again on 29.12.1996 he made yet another representation, in vain. After waiting for another half a decade for favourable orders, he filed the instant writ petition seeking a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to implement the ryotwari patta granted by Special Deputy Tahasildar (Inams) (IDT) on 22.01.1984. The Mandal Revenue Officer, Venkatachalam (now Tahasildar), filed a counter affidavit opposing the writ petition. It is alleged that the patta granted to the petitioner is a fake patta. It is also further alleged that the Commissioner of Survey and Settlements in exercise of powers under Section 14-A of the Act suo motu took up the review and by proceedings dated 22.10.1996 set aside the patta and remitted the matter to IDT for fresh disposal in accordance with law. On directions from this Court, learned Assistant Government Pleader has placed before this Court the relevant file from the Office of the Commissioner, Survey and Settlements. He has also placed before this Court a Xerox copy of the order in Case No.VI/610/89, dated 22.10.1996, passed by the Commissioner under Section 14-A of the Act. On the ground that there was no proper enquiry under Section 3 or under Section 7 of the Act, the Commissioner came to the conclusion that the patta granted in not proper. Nowhere there is any allegation that the patta is a fake patta. Be that as it is, Commissioner remanded the matter to IDT, Nellore. After obtaining instructions, learned Assistant Government Pleader submits that it is not clear whether IDT has disposed of the matter or not. Even if it is disposed of, it appears, no notice was issued to the petitioner or to other persons in similar situation whose pattas were set aside by the Commissioner. In this background, instead of keeping the matter pending further, the Writ Petition is disposed of in the following manner. The Tahasilar, Nellore, who is entrusted with the powers and functions under Section 7 of the Act is directed to dispose of the matter as remanded by the Commissioner, Survey and Settlements, in Case No.VI/610/89 immediately. Even if any final orders are passed insofar as the petitioner is concerned, the Tahasildar, Inams, is directed to issue notice to the petitioner and pass appropriate orders. This exercise shall be completed within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 14.10.2009 vs
