THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.3554 of 2010 Dated: 18.02.2010 Between: Konduru Venkata Subba Raju .. Petitioner. And Tahsildar, Saidapuram Mandal, P.S.Nellore District. .. Respondent. ORDER: It appears, by proceedings in Rc.No.1/76, dated 28.06.1978, the Special Deputy Tahsildar (Inam), Gudur, granted joint patta in favour of 42 persons, including the petitioner’s father, for various extents of land in various survey numbers, totalling to an extent of Ac.205.90 cents of Mittapalli village of erstwhile Rapur Taluk, Saidapuram Mandal, Potti Sreeramulu Nellore District. According to the petitioner, by virtue of the said order dated 28.06.1978, whereunder his father was granted patta for an extent of Ac.38.26 cents in Sy.No.7, they have been in continuous possession and enjoyment of the said land. While so, for the past 2 to 3 years, he has been prohibited from entering his land, on the ground that the patta granted under order dated 28.06.1978 was altered, and some third parties, by virtue of the altered order, were staking their claim in respect of his land restricting it to Acs.3 ½. It is the case of the petitioner that no notice of any kind was issued to him before passing the altered orders and also he came to know that a consequential proceeding was also issued on 28.06.1978, wherein the classification of the land granted to his father and 41 others was termed as poramboke, which is contrary to the Gazette notification and also the revenue records. Be that as it may, on the instructions given by the Collector, a suo-moto revision petition was filed by the Mandal Revenue Officer, Sydapuram, before the Commissioner (Appeals), Office of the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Hyderabad, against the orders in Rc.No.1/76 dated 28.06.1976, and the same was numbered as CCLAs.Ref.No.VI/143/2000. After hearing the matter in detail, the Commissioner (Appeals), by his proceedings No.VI/143/2000, dated 01.12.2008, partly allowed the suo-moto revision petition, setting aside the orders dated 28.06.1976 and remanding the matter to the primary authority i.e., Mandal Revenue Officer, Saidapuram, the respondent herein, to conduct enquiry under the Inams Abolition Act, 1956, and take necessary action, after giving reasonable opportunity to the respondents therein. Apart from that, the Commissioner (Appeals) directed that, before initiating the enquiry, the respondent herein shall ensure that the survey and sub-division works of the village were completed, and the petitioner herein was directed to raise all the points before the respondent herein with relevant documentary evidence. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the Commissioner passed the order of remand on 01.12.2008, till date the respondent has not acted on the said orders. Hence, this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondent. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits, the respondent-Tahsildar, Saidapuram Mandal, P.S.Nellore District, is directed to complete the process of enquiry as per proceedings No.VI/143/2000, dated 01.12.2008, issued by the Commissioner (Appeals), Office of the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Hyderabad, and pass appropriate orders, as per law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, status quo obtaining as on today as to the possession of the petitioner shall be maintained. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 18.02.2010 Note: Issue CC in one week B/o v v
