THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.Y.SOMAYAJULU WRIT PETITION NO : 1390 of 1996 Date: 28/07/2005 Between: Chitturi Sriramulu S/o. Veeranna, Mandapeta Mandapeta Mandal East Godavari Dist ..... PETITIONER AND Mandal Revenue Officer Alamuru Mandal, Alamuru East Godavari Dist .....RESPONDENT THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.Y.SOMAYAJULU WRIT PETITION NO.1390 OF 1996 ORAL ORDER: This petition is filed questioning the notice under Rule 3 of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Rules, 1977 (the Rules). 2. Since the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, and the Rules made thereunder are self-contained Act and Rules, which contemplate a detailed enquiry, containing provisions relating to appeal, etc., petitioner, instead of taking recourse to the opportunity given to him under the Rules, hurriedly approached this Court questioning the notice. Therefore, I find no merits in this petition. 3. Hence, the petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to pursue the remedies open to him under the Rules and with a direction to the respondent to dispose of the matter as per the Rules after giving due opportunity to the petitioner. No costs. -------------------------- (C.Y.Somayajulu, J.) Date: 28-07-2005 Cvrk
