THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 3874 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner challenges an order dated 29.11.1999 passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Visakhapatnam, 2nd respondent herein, in exercise of powers under the A.P. (Andhra Area) Inams (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1956 (for short ‘the Act’). The petitioner claims that herself and the 12th respondent are the absolute owners and possessors of Ac.112.78 cents of land in Survey Nos.5 and 6 of Narava Village, Pendurthi Mandal. She has traced the source of her title. She alleges that the impugned proceedings were issued without notice to her, conferring benefit on respondents 7 to 11, on a representation made by the 6th respondent. It is alleged that no local enquiry was conducted and that the order was passed on the basis of an agreement of sale. Heard Sri C.Damodar Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Admittedly, the order is passed by the 2nd respondent in exercise of power under the provisions of the Act. A series of remedies is provided for under the Act. Further, it was passed almost a decade ago. It is not as if the Revenue Divisional Officer does not figure anywhere in the hierarchy of the authorities under the Act. Even assuming that there is any legal or factual infirmity in the order, the same has to be canvassed before the Forum provided for under the Act. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedies provided for under the Act. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 27.02.2009 Note: Issue C.C. in three days. (B/o) JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 3874 of 2009 Date: 27.02.2009 JSU
