THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P. DURGA PRASAD W.A.No. 1368of 2002 Dated: 11-04-2011 Between: Gulam Rasool ….Appellant And Mandal Revenue Officer, Zaheerabad and others. ….Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P. DURGA PRASAD W.A.No. 1368 of 2002 Dated: 11-04-2011 Oral order: (Per GR, J) This is a misconceived appeal directed against the judgment of a learned single Judge of this Court dated 02-11-2001 dismissing W.P.No. 18250 of 1997 filed by the appellant herein. The order assailed in the writ petition is of the 1st respondent dated 19-07-1997 finding that there was no evidence of assignment of any land in favour of late Papaiah in an extent of Ac.06-20 guntas in survey No. 57/6 of Allipur village. The appellant claims title to the said property under a registered will executed by late Papaiah in his favour, asserting further that the assignment of land was made to Sri Papaiah in 1951-52. In an earlier round of litigation in W.A.No.1312 of 1995 and W.P.No. 12046 of 1994, by the order dated 18-02-1997 this Court directed the 1st respondent to pass orders whether any assignment was made in favour of late Papaiah, after verifying the revenue records. The revenue records contain no material evidencing any assignment in favour of late Papaiah either. Since the appellant failed to discharge the burden of proof consequent on his claim to the anterior title of late Papaiah, by the order impugned in the writ petition, the 1st respondent recorded that late Papaiah was not the owner and therefore the petitioner derived no title, notwithstanding the registered will under which late Papaiah bequeathed the scheduled property in favour of the appellant. Recording the above sequence of facts, the learned single Judge dismissed the writ petition. We respectfully concur. The appeal is accordingly dismissed. No costs. __________________________ JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM __________________________ JUSTICE P. DURGA PRASAD Dated: 11-04-2011 Pvks/*
