IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD TUESDAY, THIS THE 19th DAY OF JANUARY, 2010 W.P.No.96 of 2010 Between: Mala Thikkaiah ... PETITIONER(S) and The District Collector, Anantapur, Anantapur District and others …RESPONDENT(S) THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.96 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner states that his father was assigned land to an extent of Ac.24-42 cents in Sy.No.81 situated at Gandlaparthi Village, Rapthadu Mandal, Anantapur District, wayback in the year 1952 and was in possession and enjoyment of the same. It is stated that the father of the petitioner was issued Pattadar Pass Book and title deeds. Stating that his father died in the year 2009, the petitioner submitted an application to the Tahsildar, Rapthadu Mandal – the 3rd respondent with a request to issue Pattadar Pass Book and title deeds to him in respect of the said land. On coming to know that Pattadar Pass Books were issued in favour of five individuals over the entire extent of Ac.24- 42 cents, the petitioner submitted a representation to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Anantapur – the 2nd respondent on 26.10.2009. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. The petitioner has not placed before this Court, the Pattadar Pass Book said to have been issued in favour of his father. He obtained information from the 3rd respondent as to the persons in whose favour the Pattadar Pass Books were issued. After receiving information, he submitted a representation to the 2nd respondent alleging the issuance of the Pattadar Pass Books in favour of five individuals, contrary to law and violative of his rights. The 2nd respondent cannot be expected to act on such representations. If the petitioner feels aggrieved by the issuance of Pattadar Pass Books in favour of third parties, he has to prefer an appeal in the prescribed form under the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, and the Rules made thereunder duly impleading the effected persons. Even now the petitioner can avail such remedy. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to prefer an appeal against the issuance of pattadar pass books in favour of third parties with respect to the land to an extent of Ac.24-42 cents in Sy.No.81 situated at Gandlaparthi Village, Rapthadu Mandal, Anantapur District, duly impleading all the effected persons. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J 19th January 2010 CVRK Note: Office to issue copy in three days. B/o CVRK
