THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.25927 of 2009 DATED: 21.04.2010 Between: G.S. Nisar Ahamed .. Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Adoni, Kurnool District and others. .. Respondents ORDER: Petitioner states that he, his brother and sister possess various extents of land, totally admeasuring Ac.28.81 cents, in Sy.No.149 of Gangavaram Village, Nandavaram Mandal, Kurnool District, having been gifted by their grandmother, and their names were also mutated in the revenue records, and that he sold an extent of Ac.4.00 to third parties, out of the land held by him, by way of registered sale deed. He further states that his brother and sister authorized him to look after their respective lands. While so, one T.G. Vasantha Gupta, who is in no way concerned with their land, illegally got mutated his name in the revenue records relating to the said land, without any notice to them, and executed sale deeds in favour of respondents 3 to 5 herein and consequently mutation was also effected in favour of respondents 3 to 5 and they have started interfering with the possession of the petitioner and of his brother and sister. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner filed an appeal before the 1st respondent- Revenue Divisional Officer, Adoni, in Appeal No.RCE/745/2009, seeking cancellation of pattadar passbooks issued in favour of T.G. Vasantha Gupta and others and to direct the 2nd respondent- Tahsildar, Nandavaram Mandal, to issue pattadar passbooks in his favour and in favour of his brother and sister in respect of the respective lands held by them in Sy.No.149. It is the grievance of the petitioner that the said appeal is not yet disposed of and on the other hand the respondents are trying to dispossess them from the subject property highhandedly. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the official respondents and having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition as under: “The 1st respondent is directed to dispose of the appeal in RCE/745/2009 preferred by the petitioner, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, if the same is not already disposed of. Till such time, status quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained.” The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 21st April, 2010 IBL
