THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.20620 of 2009 Dated: 24.09.2009 Between: Killaru Gopi Prasad and another. .. Petitioners. And The District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, Lakdikapool, Hyderabad, And others. .. Respondents ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. Petitioners claim to be the owners and possessors of the land to an extent of Ac.2.13 gts. in Sy.Nos.37 and 38 (old), corresponding to new Sy.No.38/1, situated at Khanamet village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. It is their case that the 2nd petitioner as also their fathers purchased the said property under registered sale deeds bearing Nos.5627/97, 4960/97 and 4961/97. While so, the 3rd respondent-Tahsildar, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, initiated proceedings under the A.P.Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short ‘the Act’) and, ultimately, in exercise of power under Section 4(1) (a) and (b) of the Act, issued proceedings dated 15.02.2003 directing resumption of the lands to an extent of Acs.3.24 gts. in Sy.No.37 and Acs.9.14 cents in Sy.No.38/1 of Khanamet village, alleging that the said lands were transferred in contravention of the provisions of the Act. Questioning the said order, initially, the petitioners approached this Court by filing a writ petition, but the same was disposed of on 28.04.2003, leaving it open to the petitioners to avail the remedy of appeal. Pursuant thereto, the petitioners filed appeal before the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Chevella Division, Ranga Reddy District, under Section 4-A of the Act, against the order dated 15.02.2003 of the 3rd respondent, and the same was dismissed vide orders dated 30.04.2005. Aggrieved thereby, a revision has been filed before the 1st respondent and the same is pending. The petitioners contend that, certain other parties affected by the orders dated 30.04.2005 of the 2nd respondent filed W.P.No.13227 of 2005 and batch, and the Division Bench of this Court, after considering the cases in detail, vide common order dated 02.09.2008 categorically held that the provisions of the Act had no application to the lands covered under the impugned orders therein. It is the case of the petitioners that, having come to know of the orders passed in W.P.No.13227 of 2005 and batch, their fathers filed W.P.No.20933 of 2008 before this Court questioning the orders dated 30.04.2005 passed by the 2nd respondent in respect of their lands stating that the provisions of the Act do not apply to their lands as well, since they were assigned under a different set of norms and rules, and this Court, vide orders dated 09.02.2009, allowed the writ petition, relying upon the judgment rendered by this Court in W.P.No.13227 of 2005. Now, the grievance of the petitioners is that they approached the 3rd respondent seeking mutation of their names in the revenue records in respect of lands in question and issuance of title deeds and pattadar pass books thereof in their favour, while placing reliance upon the orders of this Court in W.P.No.20933 of 2008, but so far the respondents have not acted upon and, therefore, they seek appropriate directions to the 3rd respondent to mutate their names in the revenue records over the lands in question and issue title deeds and pattadar Pass Books in their favour. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits, the 3rd respondent is directed to consider mutation of the names of the petitioners in the revenue records in respect of the lands in question i.e., Ac.2.13 gts. in Sy.No.37 and 38 (old) (corresponding to new Sy.No.38/1) situated at Khanamet village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, and issuance of title deeds and pattadar pass books thereof, and pass appropriate orders within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 24.09.2009 V V
