Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.P.RAGHAVENDRA REDDY Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 to 3: GP FOR ASSIGNMENT Counsel for the Respondent Nos. 4 to 10: MR.P.PRABHAKAR REDDY The Court made the following: COMMON ORDER: The order passed by the learned Single Judge, in our considered opinion, does not suffer from any errors requiring our interference in exercise of our appellate jurisdiction. The learned single Judge rightly interfered with the order dated 21-01- 2003 passed by the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, as the said order does not disclose any reason whatsoever for dismissing the appeal preferred by respondents 4 and 5. The learned single Judge rightly observed that the impugned order is so bald and does not disclose any reason whatsoever that weighed in confirming the orders passed by the District Collector, Warangal. A mere look at the order dated 21-01-2003 which reads as follows; “After examining the Appeal Petition together with its material papers, the Commissioner of Appeals, A.P. Hyderabad has rejected the appeal at the admission stage as grounds raised in the Appeal against district Collector’s orders are not convincing and unrelated”. would make it clear that the appeal preferred by respondents 4 and 5 herein has been dismissed at the admission stage by the Commissioner without any application of mind. Such summary dismissal of the appeals even at the stage of admission cannot be countenanced by this Court. It is needless to observe that every order passed by the authorities exercising quasi-judicial power which require determination of the rights of the parties are to be based on reasons. Mere conclusions without support of reasons cannot be considered to be a valid order in the eye of law. In the aforesaid circumstances, we find no merit in the appeal and the same shall accordingly stand dismissed. Learned Counsel for the appellants however, contended that the very appeal preferred by respondents 4 and 5 is not maintainable in law since it was not filed within the time stipulated by this Court in the earlier round of litigation. Even this aspect of the matter together with all objections, which the appellants intend to raise can be raised before the Commissioner and all such objections are required to be taken into consideration by the Commissioner for disposal of the appeal in accordance with law. It is needless to observe that the Commissioner shall issue notices to all the parties and provide an adequate opportunity of being heard and then dispose of the appeal preferred by respondents 4 and 5 in accordance with law within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In view of our order in the Writ Appeal, no further direction is said to be required to be issued in the Writ Petition. The Writ Petition shall accordingly stand dismissed. (B. SUDERSHAN REDDY, J.)
