THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.30201 of 2010 Date: 3.12.2010 Between: Gangasani Bhagyamma ..... PETITIONER AND The District Collector, Warangal District and others. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner : Sri D.V. Chalapathi Rao Counsel for Respondents : A.G.P. for Revenue The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.30201 of 2010 Order: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to direct respondent No.3 to act on order dated 21.8.2010 passed by respondent No.2, whereby he has allowed the appeal filed by the petitioner under Section 5(5) of the Andhra Pradesh Record of Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and perusing the record, I am of the opinion that the writ petition filed at this stage is wholly premature as the petitioner failed to plead that the order dated 21.8.2010 passed by respondent No. 2 was brought to the notice of respondent No.3 and that he was requested to implement the same. The law is well settled that a person is duty bound to approach the authority concerned with a demand to do justice before seeking a writ of mandamus for enforcement of his/her legal rights or statutory duty cast on the State or its functionaries. (See: Kamini Kumar Das Choudhury vs. State of West Bengal & Others[1] and Amrit Lal Berry, K.N.Kapur vs. Collector of Central Excise, New Delhi and others[2]. As the petitioner has failed to follow this mandatory procedure, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to her to approach respondent No.3 demanding implementation of the order of respondent No.2. If the petitioner does not succeed in her attempts in this regard, she is entitled to avail appropriate remedy in accordance with law. As a sequel to disposal of the main writ petition, W.P.M.P. No. 38462 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.
