HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. PRAKASH RAO C.R.P.No. 2778 of 2008 Date: 24-02-2011 Between: Dr. Yandra Sanyasirao ……. Petitioner and Kolasu Apparao and another ……… Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. PRAKASH RAO C.R.P.No. 2778 of 2008 ORDER: Heard both sides. In this Revision Petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the proceedings under challenge are in regard to the one, which is initiated under the provisions of the A.P. (Andhra Area) Tenancy Act (for short ‘the Act’). Initially the primary authority i.e., Special Officer under the A.P.(AA) Tenancy Act-cum-Principal Junior Civil Judge, Anakapalle, passed orders in I.A.No.25 of 2006 in A.T.C.No.3 of 2006, dated 05-06-2007 under the Act. Thereafter, an appeal was filed by the deceased appellant namely Kolusu Apparao alias Appili in A.T.A.No.2 of 2007 and the same was taken up by the appellate authority i.e., District Judge, Visakhapatnam. It is not in dispute that the said appellant i.e., Kolusu Apparao alias Appili died on 02-12-2007, however the matter was finally heard by the appellate authority on 11-12-2007 and the order under revision was passed on 17-01-2008. Since admittedly as on the date of the matter being finally heard on 11-12-2007, the appellant therein was dead, the entire proceedings as such against a dead person are wholly unsustainable. The Civil Revision Petition is, accordingly, allowed. The appellate authority shall recall the proceedings and dispose of the appeal on merits in accordance with law. No order as to costs. _________________ B. PRAKASH RAO, J Date: 24-02-2011 YCR
