Rajasekhar Counsel for respondents 2&3: AGP for Revenue The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25568 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed against order dated 30.06.2010 passed by respondent No.2, whereby while staying all further transactions in pursuance of the pattadar pass book and title deed issued in favour of the petitioner, respondent No.2 has directed the petitioner to deposit the pass book and title deed with respondent No.3. After hearing Sri J. Suresh Babu, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri P. Rajasekhar representing respondent No.1 and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue for respondent Nos.2 and 3, I am of the opinion that while no exception can be taken to grant of stay of issuance of pattadar pass book and title deed, the further direction given by respondent No.2 to the petitioner to deposit the pass book and title deed cannot be sustained. Respondent No.2 is not conferred with such an authority under the provisions of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 or the Rules made thereunder. Accordingly, the direction of respondent No.2 to deposit the pass book and title deed is set aside. Respondent No.2 is directed to dispose of the appeal in accordance with law after hearing respondent No.1 and the petitioner. He shall consider all the objections raised by the petitioner including the one relating to maintainability of appeal. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.32665 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 08.10.2010 ES
