THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO Writ Petition No.7553 of 2010 Dated : 07.04.2010 Between : Bonugula Babu … Petitioner a n d The Collector & others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO Writ Petition No.7553 of 2010 ORDER: The second respondent acting as Inams Tribunal under Section 10 of the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Abolition of Inams Act, 1955, (the Act, for brevity) issued Occupancy Rights Certificate (ORC) in favour of respondent Nos.4 to 7 in respect of land admeasuring Ac.0-11 guntas in survey No.41 of Ramanthapur Bhagath Village, Uppal Mandal of Ranga Reddy District. The petitioner alleges that the land is a patta land of his grand father by name late Yerukala Yellaiah and that there being without notice to him the ORC was issued. If the petitioner’s contention is to be accepted, it goes to the root of the matter. There cannot be any dispute that the Tribunal is required to issue notice under Rule 6 (2) of A.P. (Telangana Area) Abolition of Inams Rules, 1975, to all the persons interested before issuing ORC. It is a matter for verification. The petitioner herein can as well agitate the matter before the Joint Collector under Section 24 of the Act. The Joint Collector also has power to condone the delay if sufficient cause is shown. Therefore, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioner to approach the Joint Collector, Ranga Reddy District, and prefer an appeal under Section 24 of the Act. As and when such appeal along with delay condonation application is filed, the Joint Collector shall consider and pass appropriate orders. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. __________ V.V.S.RAO, J April 07, 2010 Note : Issue C.C. in one week. B/o sur
