JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR W.A.NO. 366 OF 2009 JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) Heard learned counsel for the parties. This writ appeal is filed against the order dated 28.1.2009 passed by a learned single Judge of this Court in W.P.No. 7720 of 2006. It is the case of the writ petitioners that they were assigned two acres of land each in Sy.Nos. 215 of Ramredipalli village, Midzil Mandal, Mahaboobnagar district and their names were entered in the revenue records. While so, the respondents 3 and 4, who are the appellants herein, filed an application under Regularization 15 (2) of A.P. (Telangana Area) Record of Rights in Land and Regulations 1358 before the Joint Collector for correction of entries in the revenue records. The Joint Collector allowed the application by his proceedings dated 5.12.2000 and directed rectification of the entries in the revenue records in respect of the lands. This was challenged in the writ petition on the ground that the Joint Collector has no jurisdiction to entertain the application as the Regularization 15 (2) of A.P. (Telangana Area) Record of Rights in Land and Regulations 1358 was repealed through the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971. The learned single Judge found favour with the writ petitioners and allowed the writ petition. The learned counsel for the appellants contends that although the appellants filed the application under Regularization 15 (2) of A.P. (Telangana Area) Record of Rights in Land and Regulations 1358 before the District Revenue Officer, Mahabubnagar, but it was transferred to Joint Collector for exercising the powers under Section 9 of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 and therefore, the Joint Collector had jurisdiction to entertain the application. We cannot accept the said contention because the fact remains that the appellants sought correction of entries under the 15 (2) of A.P. (Telangana Area) Record of Rights in Land and Regulations 1358 which was repealed regulation and the joint collector had no jurisdiction to entertain the said application. The appellants can take any other remedies that may be available to them in law. We do not find any ground to interfere with the impugned order of the learned single Judge. Accordingly the writ appeal is dismissed. However, there shall be no order as to costs. __________________________ JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI ________________________________ JUSTICE VILAS V.
