THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.7345 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner was granted DKT patta over an extent of Ac.5.00 of land in Survey No.190/1 of Parnapalli Village, Lingala Mandal on 24.01.2005. Similar patta over an extent of Ac.2.00 was granted in favour of one Smt. Dabbara Lingamma. The Revenue Divisional Officer, Jammalamadugu, 2nd respondent herein issued proceedings dated 28.06.2007 cancelling the pattas issued to the petitioner and Lingamma, on the ground that the land is part of river poramboke. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the same. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. This is not a case, where the 2nd respondent cancelled the patta without issuing notice to the petitioner. The impugned proceedings disclose that notice was issued to the petitioner requiring him to attend the enquiry on 25.06.2007. For one reason or the other, the petitioner did not attend. Be that as it may, the petitioner had an alternative remedy by way of appeal before the Joint Collector under the relevant provisions of Board Standing Orders. The appellate authority would be in a better position to examine the matter from various angles. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedy of appeal. If the appeal is presented within four weeks from today, it shall be entertained without raising nay objection as to limitation. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 08.04.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.7345 of 2009 Date: 08.04.2009 JSU
