The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.23574 of 2010 Date: 22-09-2010 Between: Vankudothu Heeralal ..... Petitioner AND The District Collector, Khammam District and 2 others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.S.Chalapathi Rao Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Revenue Order: In this Writ Petition, the grievance of the petitioner is that though respondent No.2, vide his order, dated 09-06- 2010, directed respondent No.3 to hold an enquiry into the alleged illegal entries made in favour of certain third parties in respect of the lands situated at Singareni Village in Survey No.149, and submit a report to him, no action is taken by respondent No.3. At the hearing Sri S.Chalapathi Rao, learned Counsel for the petitioner, fairly conceded that under Section 4 of the Andhra Pradesh Record of Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’), the petitioner is entitled to approach respondent No.3 for amendment of entries in the record of rights and that if such an application is filed, the latter is empowered to pass an order under Section 5 (1) after following the procedure under Section 5 (3) of the Act. As the petitioner failed to follow the above-said procedure, the direction given by respondent No.2 to respondent No.3 cannot be enforced. In this view of the matter, I do not find any merit in this Writ Petition. However, the petitioner is permitted to make an application before respondent No.3. On receipt of such an application, respondent No.3 shall consider the same and pass appropriate order thereon after following the procedure prescribed under Section 5 of the Act. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.30165 of 2010, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 22nd September, 2010 lur
