THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.2189 of 2008 26.08.2010 Between: Dr Rudrapaka Rajendra Prasad And another. ...Petitioners And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Eluru, West Godavari District, And others. ...Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.2189 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioners are allegedly owners of land admeasuring Acs.1.50 in R.S.No.571/1 situated at Kondagudem Village of Kamavarapukota Mandal in West Godavari District. Their grievance is that second respondent issued pattadar pass books and title deeds to respondents 3 and 4, who have no manner of right. Therefore, petitioners seek a direction to respondents 1 and 2 to cancel the pattadar pass books. The issuance of pattadar pass books to the owner of the land or to a person who acquired title either by executing sale, gift or mortgage or otherwise is governed by the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (the Act) and the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Rules, 1989 (the Rules). If any person is aggrieved by the order passed by Tahsildar under Section 5(3) of the Act, an appeal would lie to the Revenue Divisional Officer under Section 5(5) of the Act. A writ petition for cancellation of pattadar pass books or for a direction to the Revenue Divisional Officer/Tahsildar to issue pattadar pass books is misconceived. The counsel for petitioner submits that the petitioners have already filed appeal before Revenue Divisional Officer and it stands posted to 04.09.2010. If that be so, the appeal may be disposed of on hearing merits. In this writ petition, no relief can be granted to the petitioners. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 26.08.2010 Pln
