Whereas, in the case of another tenant, he had also taken a similar plea but he was found to have made payment of arrears. The grievance of the appellant that he was treated differently than the other tenant viz., Cheganti Butchirami Reddy has no force since the other tenant after having failed to pay the maktha in time, did make the payment subsequently. But in the case of the appellant, he did not make payment of the arrears and has not attempted to make payment thereafter and even the appellant declined to pay the arrears. Accordingly, there are no grounds to interfere with the impugned order. Appeal dismissed. ___________________ DEVINDER GUPTA, CJ 13-8-2004 _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Tvr To 1 The Principal District Judge, Guntur. 2 The Special Officer (Principal Munsif Magistrate), Guntur. 3 2 CCs to the Govt.
