IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD MONDAY, THE TWENTY FIRST DAY OF FEBRUARY, TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 1492 OF 2011 BETWEEN: Smt Poomani. …PETITIONER AND The Thahsildar, Kuppam and another. …RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 1492 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was issued with house site patta in respect of land admeasuring 0.01 ½ cents in Sy.No. 103/2 of Bevanapalle village, Kuppam Mandal, Chittoor District, by the 1st respondent on 07-05- 1998. At the instance of the 2nd respondent, the 1st respondent, vide order dated 28-02-2010, cancelled the patta issued in favour of the petitioner on the ground that it is required for public purpose. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner filed an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Madanapalle, and the appeal is still pending. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner has prayed that since the petitioner was issued with patta way back in the year 1998, the petitioner be permitted to raise construction over the land covered under the patta. 3. As the house site patta allotted in favour of the petitioner has already been cancelled by the 1st respondent, against which the petitioner has preferred an appeal, the petitioner cannot be permitted to raise construction over the subject land. 4. Having heard the learned counsel on either side and gone through the case facts, I see no merits in the writ petition. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. However, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Madanapalle, is directed to decide the appeal filed by the petitioner, on merits, expeditiously, preferably within three months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. No order as to costs. ______________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J Date: 21-02-2011. INL/VV
