HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.5844 of 2006 Dated:16.11.2006 Between: Ragam Siva Kumar Yadav. …Petitioner and The Mandal Revenue Officer and others. …Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.5844 of 2006 ORDER: The third respondent herein filed W.P.No.1050 of 2006 alleging that he purchased the land admeasuring Acs.31.36 guntas in various survey numbers situated at Narsampally Village of Wargal Mandal in Medak District, in a Court auction in E.P.No.10 of 1999 in O.S.No.1805 of 1996 on the file of the Court of the Senior Civil Judge, Siddipet. He alleged in the said Writ Petition that when he approached the Mandal Revenue Officer, the first respondent herein, for effecting necessary changes in the revenue records, there was no response. Therefore, this Court on 24.01.2006 disposed of the Writ Petition directing the Mandal Revenue Officer to pass appropriate orders within a period of three weeks. In the said Writ Petition, the petitioner herein was arrayed as the second respondent. The first respondent then issued proceedings dated 16.02.2006 directing mutation in favour of the third respondent without issuing notice to the petitioner. Aggrieved by the same, the present Writ Petition is filed. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner, the learned Counsel for the third respondent as well as the learned Assistant Government Pleader. When a person acquired title to the property by reason of a Court order, he has to file an application under Rule 27(4) of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Rules, 1989 (for short ‘the Rules’), before the Mandal Revenue Officer, who is required to conduct the enquiry as contemplated under Rules 18 to 20 of the Rules. The Mandal Revenue Officer has not followed any such procedure, and purporting to rely on the order of this Court in W.P.No.1050 of 2006, dated 24.01.2006, straight away ordered mutation in favour of the third respondent. Such a course of action is ex facie vitiated by illegality. In view of this, though interlocutory matters are listed, the matter is heard finally and is being disposed of by this order. In view of the above brief observations, this Writ Petition is disposed of. The impugned proceeding of the first respondent is set aside. The matter is remitted to the said Officer with a direction to conduct appropriate enquiry after giving notice to the petitioner and the third respondent and publish notice as required under the Rules and pass appropriate orders within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 16.11.2006 vs
