IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NO.23388 OF 2011 DATED:19.8.2011 Between: R. Rama Krishna Rao … Petitioner And Govt. of A.P., rep. by Principal Secretary Revenue Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NO.23388 OF 2011 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) The petitioner is aggrieved of the occupancy rights certificate granted to respondent 7 under the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Abolition of Inams Act, 1955 (for short, ‘the Act’). There is no denying about the existence of a provision of appeal under the Act but according to the learned counsel for the petitioner, being a third party petitioner cannot file an appeal. The argument is bereft of any force in view of mandate of Section 24 of the Act which confers a right of appeal on any person aggrieved by a decision of the Collector and the expression “any person” certainly includes third party like petitioner as well. In that view of the matter, there being a statutory remedy available to the petitioner, this writ petition is dismissed being misconceived. VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ 19-8-2011 B.
