THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.21577 of 2006 18.10.2006 Between: Ragireddy Raja Rajeshwari @ Venkata Surya Rajamani, W/o.late Narayana Swamy And others … Petitioners AND The Mandal Revenue Officer, Pithapuram Mandal, East Godavari District And another … Respondents THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.21577 of 2006 ORDER: The five petitioners are allegedly owners of lands admeasuring Acs.13.44 in survey No.5231/1A, 1B, 1C and 526/2 situated at Pithapuram. They allege that they succeeded to the property, which originally belonged to their grandmother. The first respondent issued urgent notice in Ref.ASO/639/06, dated 05.10.2006 directing the petitioner to appear before him on 06.10.2006 at 04.00 pm with all necessary records. The petitioners allege that the younger brother of the petitioners along with Advocate appeared before the Mandal Revenue Officer, Pithapuram Mandal (MRO), and sought for some time. The MRO refused to do so and is bent upon to dispossess the petitioners. Therefore, impugning the show cause notice, the present writ petition is filed. As the MRO only issued the notice, this Court is not inclined to entertain the matter. However, this Court observes that when any doubt arises as to whether the land is patta land or Government land or land belonging to A.P.Bhoodan Yagna Board, revenue authorities should give sufficient time and notice to the persons, who are in occupation of the land and claiming title, to produce all the documents and participate in the enquiry. Keeping this in view, this Court observes that the MRO may take up the enquiry on 27.10.2006 and the petitioner, if not already filed material, may produce all the material before the MRO. The MRO shall then consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ October 18, 2006. (V.V.S.RAO, J) NOTE: Issue order copy by 23.10.2006. (By order) YS
