THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.29753 of 2011 ORDER: The relief sought for in this Writ Petition is to declare the action of the respondents, in issuing a notice dated 26.09.2011 in Form-II under Rule 3 of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Rules, 2007 (for short ‘Rules’), and in not allowing the petitioner to enjoy her lands of an extent of Ac.3.32 cents in Sy.No.2-2 of Kondavallipadu Mandal, Ozili Mandal, SPSR Nellore District, as being illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner claims to have purchased an extent of Ac.3.32 cents of land in Sy.No.2-2 of Kondavallipadu Mandal, Ozili Mandal, SPSR Nellore District by registered sale deed dated 28.07.2010 from her vendors viz. Sri E.Ramanaiah, Sri E.Narasimha Rao and Sri E.Poornachandra Rao for valuable consideration. The Tahsildar, Ozili Mandal, SPSR Nellore District (second respondent) had issued a notice dated 26.09.2011 in Form-II, under Rule 3 of the Rules, calling upon the petitioner to show cause why she should not be evicted from the subject lands; and the petitioner had submitted her explanation on 03.10.2011, which was received by the second respondent on 05.10.2011. The petitioner’s grievance is that, despite receipt of her objections on 05.10.2011, no orders were passed by the second respondent, and had, instead, directed the Village Revenue Officer not to allow her to cultivate the land. When the matter was listed on 09.11.2011, Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) sought time to obtain instructions. Thereafter when the matter was listed on 14.11.2011, Learned Government Pleader produced a copy of the order of resumption dated 18.10.2011. On being asked, whether the petitioner’s objections were considered before an order of resumption was passed, Learned Government Pleader sought time to obtain instructions. Today Learned Government Pleader would submit that, though the petitioner had submitted her objections to the notice in Form-II, under Rule 3 of the Rules, no orders were passed on the said objections; and, by oversight, an order of resumption was passed on 18.10.2011. In view of the submissions now made by the Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment), I consider it appropriate to set aside the order of resumption dated 18.10.2011. Leaving it open to the second respondent to pass orders on the petitioner’s objections to the notice issued in Form-II and, thereafter, if need be, pass an order of resumption in accordance with law, the Writ Petition is disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:28.11.2011 usd
