THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2619 of 2009 ORDER: The Joint Collector-I, Ranga Reddy District, the fourth respondent herein, initiated suo motu proceedings under Section 166-B A.P. (Telangana Area) Land Revenue Act, 1317 Fasli (for short ‘the Act’) proposing to cancel the entries made in the supplementary sethwar on 07.06.1969. A show cause notice was issued in February, 2000. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioners filed W.P.No.4849 of 2003 and batch. This Court declined to interfere and directed that the petitioners shall be furnished the copies of all the documents relied upon by the fourth respondent. This writ petition is filed stating that though the petitioners filed an independent application way back in the year 2005, with a request to furnish the copies of the documents mentioned therein, the fourth respondent did not accede to the request and that he is proceeding to dispose of the matter. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The initiation of suo motu proceedings under Section 166-B of the Act in relation to the matters which have become more than thirty years old itself is an extraordinary exercise. A specific direction was issued by this Court to the fourth respondent to furnish the documents relied upon by him. Unless and until the very basis is known to the petitioners, it would become difficult for them to frame their defence. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the fourth respondent shall not pass any orders in the proceedings initiated by him unless he complies with the request made by the petitioners for furnishing the documents, or states the reasons for not furnishing the same. It goes without saying that the rights of the petitioners shall not be interfered in any manner, till the orders are passed in the pending proceedings. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:24.02.2009 kdl
