HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25832 of 2007 Date: 18.04.2011 Between : Chintapalli Ramulamma & others. ….Petitioners And The District Collector, Vizianagaram District & others. ….Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25832 of 2007 ORDER : This writ petition is filed, seeking directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondent No.2 in not taking steps for issuance of pattadar pass books and title deeds to the petitioners, inspite of receiving remarks in their favour from the 3rd respondent, as illegal and arbitrary. In this writ petition, it is the case of the petitioners that they are landless poor persons, eking out their livelihood out of cultivation in the assigned lands. It is stated that inspite of grant of D-Form pattas in their favour and making entries to that effect in the revenue records, they are not given pattadar pass books and title deeds as per the provisions under the A.P.Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971. Counter affidavit and additional counter affidavits are filed. In the counter affidavit filed by the Tahsildar of Vizianagaram Mandal, while denying the various allegations made by the petitioners, it is stated that the land in question is surplus land under the A.P.Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings) Act, 1977, and that the said lands are assigned to the petitioners, but after assignment of land, petitioners have failed to complete the conditions of grant. It is stated that due to non-fulfillment of the conditions of grant, the Revenue Divisional officer, Vizianagaram, passed orders, resuming the land to the Government vide Proceedings in LCC.No.260/75 LRDT, dated 06.12.2007, and accordingly, land was taken possession on 28th of December 2007 under the cover of panchanama. As per the provisions of the A.P.Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, the original owners and assignees by way of D-Form Pattas, are entitled for grant of pattadar pass books and title deeds. The petitioners are seeking for grant of directions for issuance of pattadar pass books and title deeds, based on the D-Form pattas granted to them for the land in question. When the assignments were cancelled on the ground that the conditions of grant are violated and when it is stated in the counter that the land is already resumed to the Government, no direction can be granted for issuance of pattadar pass books to the petitioners. For the aforesaid reasons, I do not find merit in this writ petition, for grant of directions as prayed for. Writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _________________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 18th April 2011 ajr
