IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY THURSDAY, THE TWENTY THIRD DAY OF OCTOBER, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY WRIT PETITION No.10349 of 2002 Between: B.Venkatesh. (Name amended as per order, dt.23-10-08 passed by this Court in WPMP No.30056/2008) … Petitioner And The Mandal Revenue Officer, Shabad Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. … Respondent Counsel for the petitioners: Sri M.V.Praveen Kumar. Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Revenue. This Court made the following: ORDER:- This Writ Petition is ﬁled by the petitioner with the grievance that though the appeal ﬁled by the petitioner, against the order regularizing sale transaction in favour of Gatta Rajappa Reddy, S/o.Thomas Reddy, was allowed and the matter was remanded to the respondent for fresh disposal, he has not disposed of the case. In the counter-aﬃdavit ﬁled by the respondent it is averred that the case of the petitioner was disposed of by the respondent rejecting the objections ﬁled by him and conﬁrming the earlier order passed by the respondent in File No.B/1588/89 and B/1590/89, vide order No.ROR.B/79/89 dated 9-12-1999. At the hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the said common order dated 9-12-1999, said to have been passed by the respondent, was not served on the petitioner and, therefore, being unaware of the said order, the petitioner filed the present Writ Petition. Inasmuch as the respondent has disposed of the objections ﬁled by the petitioner, the Writ Petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to ﬁle an appeal under Section 5-B of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short “the Act”). Since the petitioner has pleaded that the respondent has not served a copy of the said order to him and the Writ Petition has been pending since the year 2002, I am of the view that, in the interest of justice, the petitioner shall be permitted to ﬁle an appeal within a period of four weeks from today. If such an appeal is ﬁled before the appellate authority under Section 5-B of the Act, he shall entertain and dispose of the same, on merits, after hearing all the parties, who are interested in the subject matter. ------------------------- ----------- C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date: 23-10-2008 MNR
