THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.28676 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the owner of different extents of lands in Survey Nos. 260/2, 261, 262, 263, 264 etc., in Brahmadevi Village, Muthukuru Mandal, Nellore District, having purchased it from her vendor by way of registered sale deed dated 25.1.2007. It is the petitioner’s case that the title is traceable right upto 24.5.1973; the said lands have been sold by way of registered sale deeds; they have changed hands periodically; and the names of the petitioner’s vendors have been mutated in the revenue records. While matters stood thus, the third respondent is said to have issued notice dated 29.9.2011 alleging that the petitioner had encroached on Government lands, originally assigned to Sri Malladi Venkata Narayana Reddy. The petitioner filed a detailed explanation thereto. On the plea that though her explanation was under consideration, the revenue officials came to her lands on 20.10.2011 and sought to evict her from the lands in question, the present writ petition is filed. When the writ petition was listed on 24.10.2011, learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignments) sought time to obtain instructions. Today the learned Government Pleader would produce a copy of the proceedings dated 20.10.2010 issued by the Tahsildar, Muthukuru Mandal, the third respondent herein, whereby orders were passed, under Rule 3 of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Rules, 2007, directing eviction of the petitioner from the lands in question, and restoring possession back to the original assignee, Sri Narayana Reddy. A copy of the proceedings has also been handed over to the learned counsel for the petitioner. Since Section 4-A of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers), 1977 ( A.P. Act 9 of 1977) provides for an appeal against the order of Tahsildar to the Revenue Divisional Officer, I see no reason to entertain the writ petition or to adjudicate the petitioner’s claim on merits. Lleaving it open to the petitioner, if she is so aggrieved, to avail the statutory remedy of an appeal under Section 4-A of the A.P. Act 9 of 1977, the writ petition fails ,and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. __________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J October 28, 2011 pnb .
