IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE TWENTY NINETH DAY OF MAY TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 11401 of 2008 Between: ..... PETITIONERS AND .....RESPONDENTS Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court will be pleased to Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.P.RAJAGOPAL REDDY Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : s ORAL ORDER: The second respondent filed an appeal before the first respondent under Sub-Sec. (5) of Sec. 5 of A.P. Record of Rights Act, aggrieved by certain entries in revenue records. The first respondent in turn issued notice dated 21.4.2008 to the petitioner fixing the date of hearing as 3.5.2008. The petitioners challenge the very initiation of the proceedings by the second respondent before the first respondent and placed reliance upon a judgment of this Court in Sannepalli Nageswar Rao and another Vs. District Collector, Khammam and others (2002(4) ALD 497 (DB). Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. It is only in extraordinary case that this Court would interfere with the notice or mere initiation of proceedings. It is not even complained that the first respondent does not have the powers of appeal under the relevant provisions. The question as to whether the proceedings initiated by the second respondent are tenable, be it on account of the lapse of time, or otherwise, can certainly be decided by the second respondent on the basis of the objections that may be raised by the petitioners. The subject matter of the judgment relied upon by the petitioners, is the final orders passed by the Appellate Authority and not the notice of initiation. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed leaving it open to the petitioners to put forward all their contentions before the first respondent. No order as to costs. ___________________ L.Narasimha Reddy, J. May 29, 2008 MAS/PNV ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.2CCs to 2.2CD copies
