THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.8438 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner filed an application before the Tahsildar, Jagtial, 2nd respondent herein with a request to alter the entries in the revenue records in relation to land admeasuring Ac.0.08 gutnas, Ac.0.12 guntas and Ac.0.06 guntas in parts of Survey Nos.205, 406 and 1275 respectively of Jagtial Village and Mandal. He based his claim on a final decree in O.S.No.929 of 1992 dated 03.03.2004 on the file of the learned Junior Civil Judge, Jagtial. The 2nd respondent passed an order dated 27.04.2008 stating that in respect of the land referred to above, Shyam Sunder and Gummala Rajaiah are shown as pattadars and since those persons are not parties to the decree, the request of the petitioner cannot be acceded to. The petitioner preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent under Section 5-B of the A.P. Record of Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’). The petitioner seeks directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The writ petition cannot be entertained for more reasons than one. Firstly, the petitioner preferred an appeal against the order dated 27.04.2008. Once the alternative remedy is availed, writ petition cannot be filed. Secondly, the appeal preferred by the petitioner under Section 5-B of the Act is totally untenable. Thirdly, as long as the entries made in favour of Shyam Sunder and Gummala Rajaiah are not challenged by way appeal or revision, or by filing an independent suit, the petitioner cannot expect his name to be entered in the revenue records vis-à-vis the same land. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. It is however left open to the petitioner to take necessary steps in accordance with law against the entries made in favour of those two persons. _________ 27.04.2009 Note: Issue C.C. in three days.
