THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 1363 of 2009 ORDER; The petitioner was granted patta on 13.03.1992 over an extent of Ac.3.00 of land in Survey Nos.401/2 of Yamadinnepalem of Kothapatnam Revenue Village, Kota Mandal, Nellore District, on payment of market value. It is stated that the name of the petitioner was entered in all the revenue records and settlement registers and he was also issued pattadar pass book and title deeds. The petitioner states that for the first time in the year 2008, the Panchayat Secretary, 4th respondent herein made an entry in the Adangal/pahani, showing the C.J.S.F. as owner and 5th respondent as the possessor of an extent of Ac.1.75 cents of land owned by him. He claims to have made a representation to the 2nd respondent and complains that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The A.P. Record of Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’) prescribes the procedure for making entries as well as modification thereof in respect of agricultural lands. In case, any party is aggrieved by the entries or alterations, he can avail the remedy under Section 5 of the Act. Further remedy is provided to the Joint Collector. It appears that the petitioner did not present any formal appeal to the 2nd respondent, obviously on account of his advanced age and on being perturbed by the sudden change in the revenue records. Even now, the petitioner can avail the remedy of appeal and the 2nd respondent can certainly examine the matter with reference to the relevant records. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that in case the petitioner presents an appeal before the 2nd respondent within four (4) weeks from today, it shall be entertained as having been presented within limitation and he shall dispose of the appeal, after issuing notice to the parties, within two (2) months thereafter. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 30.01.2009 Note: Issue C.C. in three days. (B/o) JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 1363 of 2009 Date: 30.01.2009 JSU
