THE HON'BLE SRI BILAL NAZKI, THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT APPEAL NO.1671 OF 2005 Dated 07-11-2005 Between: Abida Jaffari and others …Appellants And Government of A.P. rep. by its Secretary Rev. (Assignment.V) Department And others …Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI BILAL NAZKI, THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT APPEAL NO.1671 OF 2005 J U D G M E N T (Per the Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, ACJ): Heard learned counsel for the parties. This writ appeal is filed by the writ petitioners against the order passed by the learned Single Judge in Writ Petition No.11947 of 2005. We have perused the record produced by the learned Government Pleader for Assignment. The case of the writ petitioners/appellants is that they were bona fide purchasers of a piece of land, which was assigned to their vendor’s vendor. Since it was a third sale, they did not have an idea that the land was an assigned land therefore, they applied for its regularization. Up to the level of the Chief Secretary their case was recommended, but the Government finally passed the following order, which was impugned in the writ petition. “The attention of the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Hyderabad is invited to the references cited and he is informed that the proposal with reference to the above subject matter is rejected, in pursuance of the A.P.Assigned Lands (POT) Act, 1977.” Learned counsel for the appellants submits that this order has not given any reason for rejection of the application of the appellants and besides in similar circumstances regularization was ordered in favour of one Smt Nalini Shanker. We summoned the record and we have seen from the record that there is no difference between Smt Nalini Shanker and the present writ petitioners. If there was a ban in terms of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfer) Act, 1977 that bar would apply to Smt Nalini Shanker also. In these circumstances, we set aside the order passed by the learned Single Judge and quash the order dated 28-01-2005 passed by the Government, which was impugned in the writ petition and remand the matter back to the Government for a fresh consideration keeping in view the observations made in this order. Status quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained by the parties till the Government passes a fresh order. The writ appeal is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________________ (Bilal Nazki, ACJ) 7th November, 2005 ___________________ (R.Subhash Reddy,J) vrn
