They and the brother of petitioner No.1 purchased different extents of lands in different survey numbers situated in Kalikiri Village in Chittoor District. They acquired these lands under sale deeds from different vendors. They also obtained pattadar pass books and title deeds. They state that on 29.11.2009 respondent No.4 summoned them with their pattadar pass books. They produced. Respondent No.4 then stamped the pattadar pass books on page No.3 to the effect that the lands in survey Nos.334, 335/1, 335/2, 820/4B2, 820/4C, 820/10 and 821/2 are assigned lands, and therefore, they cannot be sold. Aggrieved by the said action they filed the instant writ petition. The petitioners’ Counsel vehemently contends that even according to the Tahsildar in the revenue records the lands were shown as assigned lands subsequent to the petitioners’ purchase, and therefore, the endorsement in the pattadar pass books without notice to the petitioners is arbitrary and illegal. The petitioners directly approached this Court raising a dispute in relation to the question of fact. Therefore, it is not proper to express any opinion. The petitioners have an effective remedy against wrong entries made in the pattadar pass books by way of an appeal under Section 5(5) of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Boooks Act, 1971. The petitioners are given liberty to approach respondent No.3, namely, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Madanapalli, and prefer an appeal within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As and when the appeal is filed, the Revenue Divisional Officer shall verify the records, issue notice to the petitioners, obtain their explanations and pass appropriate orders. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 06.04.2010 vs
