THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.8099 of 2010 Dated:19.04.2010 Between: K.Srinivasulu. ...Petitioner And The Tahsildar, Makthal Mandal, Makthal, Mahabubnagar District. ...Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.8099 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner purchased Acs.6.30 guntas in survey No.125/aa/aa situated at Golapally, Hamlet of Tekulapally Village of Makthal Mandal in Mahabubnagar District, from Chinna Narsimhulu, S/o.Buddanna, under registered sale deed dated 14.08.2008. He made an application in Form VI(A) under Rule 18(2) of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Rules, 1989 (the Rules), for necessary changes/alteration in the record of rights and issue of pattadar pass books under Section 4(1) of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (the Act). The petitioner contends that notices were issued by the Tahsildar and no objections were received. His grievance is that even thereafter the matter is kept pending from November 2008. Subsequently, he also made a joint application along with the vendor, in vain. Therefore, he filed the instant writ petition seeking a direction to respondents to pass orders in the matter. The Assistant Government Pleader after getting instructions submits that there is tenancy appeal pending before the Joint Collector, and therefore, the matter was not considered. The attention of this Court is invited to Rule 9(1)(a)(iv) of the Rules, which reads as under. No order shall be passed for the change of Registry or splitting of joint pattas, unless the Recording Authority is satisfied that the change of Registry or splitting of joint patta is not in contravention of any of the provisions of:- (1) The Andhra Pradesh Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings) Act, 1973 (Act 1 of 1973). (2) The Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 (Central Act 33 of 1976). (3) The Andhra Pradesh Assigned Land (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (Act 9 of 1977). (4) & (5) omitted (6) The Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation 1959, (Regulation 1 of 1959). (7) to (9) omitted In view of the above, pendency of any appeal under the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950, is not a bar to consider the application of a purchaser of the agricultural property and pass appropriate orders under Section 5(2) of the Act read with Rules 20 and 26 of the Rules. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of observing that the Tahsildar, Makthal, may pass appropriate orders immediately on the application made by the petitioner for issue of necessary pattadar pass books in respect of the subject land. This exercise may be completed within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 19.04.2010 Note: Issue C.C in one week. B/o. vs
