HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 24005 OF 2008. DATED 17th February, 2011. BETWEEN Chagoni Yellaiah and ors …Petitioners And The Joint Collector, Nalgonda and ors ….Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 24005 OF 2008. ORDER: The petitioners are aggrieved by the order of the third respondent dated 4.10.2008, vide which, the revision filed by the third respondent under Section 9 of the A.P. Rights In Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 was allowed, setting aside the order passed by the second respondent dated 25.9.1999. The learned Counsel for the petitioners submitted that as per the docket sheet, the date for hearing of the revision was given to 6.8.2008 and thereafter, the case was neither listed for hearing nor allowed to file counter on behalf of the petitioners herein (respondents therein), but, however, the matter was decided on 4.10.2008. The learned Counsel for the petitioners further submitted that the petitioners could not put in appearance on 04.10.2008 as the case was fixed to that date without any prior notice. He further submitted that the revisional authority without giving sufficient opportunity for filing counter and hearing the respondents (petitioners herein) therein, decided the case on 04.10.20008 The order dated 6.8.2008 reads as under: “Dt. 23.08.2008: Case called. Both are present. Respondent sought time for filing counter. Adjourned to 06.08.2008” Having heard the learned Counsel on either side and gone through the docket sheet, I find that the date given by the first respondent-revisional authority for filing counter by the respondents (Writ Petitioners herein) was 6.8.2008 and the matter was never adjourned to 4.10.2008. Further, from the docket sheet, it was not clear as to whether the case was listed on 6.8.2008 or not. In this regard, the learned Assistant Government Pleader produced original record before this Court. A perusal of the same, it is clear that the petitioner has been prejudiced in disposing of the revision by the first respondent, without providing an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners. Resultantly, the Writ Petition is allowed and the impugned order passed by the first respondent dated 4.10.2008 in case No.F2/4441/2007 is set aside and the matter is remanded to the first respondent for deciding the case afresh, after hearing all the parties to the revision. The parties shall appear before the first respondent on 16.03.2011. There shall be no order as to costs. ------------------------------------ -- JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA Dated 17th February, 2011.
