THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27323 of 2010 Date: 03.11.2010 Between: Sharfiuddin Mea ..... Petitioner AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Secretary, Hyderabad, and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri Kishore Rai Counsel for Respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in refusing to issue village map in respect of agricultural lands admeasuring Ac.0.37 guntas and Acs.3.02 guntas comprised in survey Nos.302 and 328 respectively situated at Koukuntal Village, Chevella Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner has pleaded that he has filed O.S.No.50 of 2001 in the Court of the learned Junior Civil Judge, Chevella, Ranga Reddy District (for short ‘civil Court’) for partition and separate possession of the abovementioned agricultural lands. That the civil Court granted a preliminary decree for partition on 04.04.2008 by declaring that the petitioner is entitled to 2/9th share of the land in the abovementioned survey numbers. The petitioner further pleaded that he filed I.A.No.208 of 2004 for passing of a final decree and that for this purpose he approached respondent No.4 for supply of village map for the purpose of location of the land and demarcation of the boundaries. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No.4 has not supplied the village map. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that this writ petition is wholly misconceived because the final decree proceedings are pending before the civil Court and it is the duty of the civil Court to ensure that the land is properly surveyed and demarcated for the purpose of ascertainment of the physical shares and passing of a final decree. If the village map is necessary for this purpose, the petitioner can always make an appropriate application in the civil Court for giving necessary directions to respondent No.4 to produce the map. The petitioner has indulged in needless litigation by filing this writ petition. For the aforementioned reasons, the Writ Petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to avail the remedy indicated above. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.34903 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 03rd November, 2010 GHN
