Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.L.J.VEERA REDDY Counsel for the Respondents.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P. No.19848 of 2009 O R D E R: According to the petitioner, out of Ac.3-12 cents of land in Sy.No.1735 of T.Sundupalli village and Mandal in Kadapa District, an extent of 58 cents is Vanka Poramboku. The Vanka is locally called as Jamalla vanka. The land of the petitioner is near to the said vanka on the eastern side i.e. 76 cents in Sy.No.1746/1, 19 cents in Sy.No.1741/3, 13 cents in Sy.No.1746/1 and 18 cents in Sy.No.1746/1 of T.Sundupalli village and Mandal in Kadapa District. In the year 2008, the petitioner came to know that 4th respondent has obtained DKT patta for an extent of Ac.3-12 cents in Sy.No.1735 of T.Sundupalli village and Mandal including the said 58 cents in Sy.No.1735, which is vanka poramboke. Therefore, the petitioner and other villagers who are having lands on the eastern side of the said Jamallavanka filed revision before 1st respondent under BSO.15 para 18 to cancel the assignment in favour of 4th respondent to an extent of 58 cents, which is vanka poramboke. The 1st respondent made an endorsement to 2nd respondent to get the matter verified as to how the patta was given against vanka poramboke and take action. According to the petitioner, 1st respondent alone is competent to deal with the matter and there is no necessity for him to refer the matter to 2nd respondent; he may call for the connected record from 2nd and 3rd respondents and decide the matter after issuing notice to 4th respondent. While the matter stood thus, 4th respondent came with JCB to remove the thorny bushes and wild date trees in the said 58 cents of land in order to occupy the same and include the said land with the land in which he was cultivating by virtue of the said assignment. Hence, the writ petition. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, 1st respondent is directed to consider and dispose of the revision purported to have been filed by the petitioner and others seeking to cancel the assignment of the land made in favour of 4th respondent to an extent of Ac.0-58 cents in Sy.No.1735 of T.Sundupalli village and Mandal, Kadapa District, which is locally called as Jamalla vanka, and pass appropriate orders, as per law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioner. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU. Date: 24-9-2009. MVB.
