THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.8596 of 2010 April 20, 2010 Between: N.Vijaya Bhaskara Raju, S/o.Yanadi Raju And others … Petitioners And The District Collector, Kadapa District And others ... Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.8596 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners are agriculturists of Seshamambapuram Village of Rajampet Mandal in Kadapa District. They own agricultural lands admeasuring anywhere in between Acs.3.12 to Acs.5.00. It is their case that they obtained Pattadar Pass Books and Title Deeds (PPBs/TDs). They also allege that they mortgaged TDs and obtained loans from State Bank of Hyderabad, Rajampet. It appears that a Telugu News daily, Andhra Jyothi, on 04.4.2010 published news item that Villagers of Paparajupalle requested local MLA to take necessary action in respect of bogus PPBs relating to Grama Kantam land (Village site). Petitioners apprehend that respondents might canel their pattas without following due process of law. Therefore they filed the instant writ petition. This Court heard the counsel for petitioners and Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Andhra Area). The writ petition is filed on a mere apprehension based on news item. It is well settled that the news published does not give rise to a cause of action to invoke the jurisdiction. Secondly, the PPBs are issued under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (the Act). Therefore, even if they are to be cancelled, needless to mention that the authorities have to follow necessary procedure contemplated under the Act and Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Rules, 1989. The writ petition is misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. ______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) April 20, 2010 YS
