HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 8801 OF 2010. ORDER: Questioning the action of the second respondent in not mutating the lands of the petitioner admeasuring Ac.1.34 cets in Sy.Nos. 143/8, 137/2, 137/3,144//12, 135/2 and 135/4, all situate in Akkarampalli revenue village, Tirupathi Urban Mandal, Chittoor District, the present Writ Petition is filed. It is stated that the petitioner preferred a claim petition under Section 11(a) of the A.P. (Andhra Area) Estates (Abolition & Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1948 , ( for brevity ‘the Act’) for grant of Ryothwari patta in respect of the subject agricultural land. The said claim petition was allowed by the Settlement Officer, Nellore by order dated 28.1.1980. However, in the appeal, the Director of Settlements, Andhra Pradesh, vide order dated 27.12.1996 set aside the order passed by the Settlement Officer, Nellore, dated 28.1.1980. Assailing the same, the petitioner filed revision petition, which was allotted by the Commissioner of Appeals by order dated 28.4.2000 and set aside the order dated 27.12.1996 of the Director of Settlements. It is submitted by the learned Counsel for the petitioner that despite the orders of the Settlement Officer were confirmed by the revisional authority, the authorities are not mutating in the revenue records the subject lands in favour of the petitioner. The learned Counsel for the respondents submits that the lands in question are government lands and therefore, the petitioner is not entitled to have mutated his name in the revenue accounts in respect of the subject lands. After hearing the learned Counsel appearing for the parties, it is clear that once the Settlement Officer has allowed the claim petition filed by the petitioner under Section 11(a) of the Act vide order dated 28.1.1980, which was confirmed by the revisional authority by order dated 28.4.2000, it cannot be said that the lands in possession of the petitioner are government lands. In view of the same, the Writ Petition is allowed. The second respondent is directed to incorporate the name of the petitioner in the village revenue accounts in respect of the subject lands, without insisting for any instructions from the District Collector, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ------------------------------------ -- JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA Dated 11th February, 2011. Note” CC in two days. (BO) Msnro
