THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.767 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners claim to be the owners of 800 square yards of land in different survey numbers of Mamidalapadu Panchayat, Stantanpuram Village, Kurnool Mandal and District. They purchased the same through a sale deed, dated 14.06.2006. They intend to sell that property and accordingly approached the Joint Sub-Registrar, Kurnool, respondent No.1 herein, with a request to furnish particulars. However, the particulars were not furnished on the ground that the Tahsildar, Kurnool Mandal, respondent No.2 herein, stated that the land in question belongs to the Government. The petitioners contend that at no point of time, the land was held by the Government, and it was initially owned by Sri Statan and after he left the Country, it underwent several transfers. Respondent No.2 filed a counter-affidavit. He stated that the impugned letter was addressed on the basis of the information that was available at the relevant point of time, but on verification of the records from the Office of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kurnool, it emerged that the land is patta in nature. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Respondent No.1 simply acted upon the letter, dated 10.10.2008, addressed by respondent No.2. That letter appears to have been addressed on the assumption and without verification of the record. In the counter-affidavit, specific mention is made to the letter, dated 24.12.2009, of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kurnool, in which, it was certified that the land is patta in nature. Respondent No.2 has since clarified the position. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is allowed and respondent No.2 is directed to receive the documents that may be presented by the petitioners and process the same in accordance with law, without reference to the impugned letter. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:05.02.2010 kdl
