THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.7424 of 2010 Dated:06.04.2010 Between: Pallerla Chakrapani, And others. …Petitioners and The District Collector, Karimnagar, Karimnagar District, And others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.7424 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners were allegedly assigned land admeasuring Acs.4.00, Acs.4.00 and Acs.2.26 cents respectively in survey No.20 of Kistampet Village, Srirampur Mandal in Karimnagar District. The District Revenue Officer, Karimnagar, having come to know that the assignments made in favour of the petitioners were irregular, in exercise of powers delegated to him under Section 166-B of the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Land Revenue Act, 1317 Fasli (the Act), permitted respondent No.3 to take necessary action for cancellation and resumption. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. Petitioners apprehend that the Tahsildar would pass resumption order and take possession without following due process of law. After hearing the Counsel for the petitioners and perusing the affidavit accompanying the writ petition this Court is convinced that the writ petition is filed on a mere apprehension. Be it however observed that merely because the District Revenue Officer permitted the Tahsildar, Srirampur, to take necessary action for cancellation it does not mean that respondent No.3 can straightaway take possession of land. He is under obligation to issue notice to the petitioners and consider their explanations before passing any order of resumption. Be it also noted that any resumption order passed by Tahsildar is appealable under Section 158 of the Act. Till appropriate orders are passed, if the petitioners are in possession, the same shall not be disturbed. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 06.04.2010 Note: Issue C.C in one week. B/o. vs
