Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.B.NARASIMHA SARMA Counsel for respondents 1 and 2: G.P. for Revenue Counsel for the Respondent No.3: MR.M.SUDHIR KUMAR The Court made the following : ORAL ORDER: The proceedings dated 5-11-1996 in No.B8/27/ROR/88 of the 1st respondent are under challenge in this writ petition. While so, W.P.M.P.No.50 of 2005 is filed to implead the petitioners therein as writ petitioners 2 and 3 on the ground that they have purchased the land which is the subject matter of the proceedings impugned in this writ petition. This interlocutory application is opposed by Sri M.R.K.Chowdary, learned senior counsel appearing for the un-official respondent on the ground that sole writ petitioner died, no steps were taken by the legal representatives of the petitioner within the stipulated time and in that view of the matter the writ petition itself is abated, and as such the petitioners in the interlocutory application cannot be impleaded as party petitioners claiming interest, at this stage, and the writ petition itself is liable to be dismissed. In this case, it is to be seen that the main writ petition is filed against the order of the District Revenue Officer, Mahabubnagar – 1st respondent, rejecting the writ petitioner’s request for correction of the entries in Khasra Pahani. The said application was filed under the A.P. (Telangana Area) Record of Rights Regulation 1358 Fasli. But, it has to be seen that in the year 1971 Andhra Pradesh Right in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 has come into force and this Court has already taken a view that after coming into force of the said legislation, the authority under the old Regulation has no jurisdiction to entertain any application seeking correction of entries in regard to the record of rights. Inasmuch the very writ petition itself is directed against the order passed by the authority under the repealed Regulation, which is not in force from 1971 onwards, either this interlocutory application to implead the petitioners at this stage or the main writ petition itself cannot be entertained. However, it is open for the petitioners to approach the competent authority under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Right in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. __________ 15-2-2005 asp To: 1. District Revenue Officer, Mahabubnagar 2. Mandal Revenue Officer, Balanagar 3.
