THE HON'BLE SRI. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 2516 of 2011 Dated: 08.02.2011 Between: Kakuturu Peda Ragaiah ..... PETITIONER AND Joint Collector and others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 2516 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 30.09.2010 passed by the 1st respondent whereby the pattadar passbooks in favour of the petitioner were cancelled. The counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was not associated in enquiry conducted by the 2nd respondent and that the petitioner was not heard by the 1st respondent before passing the impugned order. A perusal of the impugned order shows that the notice had been issued to the petitioner and the petitioner had duly represented his case before the 1st respondent. Thus, the contention of the petitioner that he was not heard by the 1st respondent before passing the impugned order, is incorrect. Apart from the above, the order passed by the 1st respondent is revisable. A revision lies to the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad against the impugned order within a period of 40 days from the date of the order. As an alternative remedy is available to the petitioner, the present writ petition is not maintainable. In view of the above, the Writ Petition is disposed of being not maintainable. However, the petitioner may avail his alternative remedy by filing a revision. If revision is filed, then the competent authority shall consider the application for condonation of delay sympathetically. The petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the land in dispute keeping in view the fact that the petitioner is a landless person. Therefore, he shall not be dispossessed from his land for a period of two (2) weeks from today. No costs. _____________________ Date: 08.02.2011 ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J Note: Issue CC in three days (B/o) Ivd/Bsb
