THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH W.P. No. 806 of 2008 Date:22-01-2008 Between: Polu Rama Devi …Petitioner AND The Secretary to the Government, Revenue Dept.,Hyderabad and three others .. Respondents ORDER: The petitioner questions the order passed by the 4th respondent-Tahsildar, Hanmakonda of Warangal District in File No.B/2407/2007, dated 03.01.2008 in resuming the lands of an extent of Ac.2.15 cents in Sy.No.181 situated in Kumarpalli village, Hanmakonda mandal, Warangal District on the ground that the said land was originally assigned in favour of Pulimontla Lakshminarayana in the year 1980 and the said land has been purchased by the petitioner vide registered sale deed No.9358, dated 17.11.2004. As the said original assignee alienated the said land in contravention of sub-section 2 of Section 3 of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act (for short “the Act”), resumption orders have been passed under Section 4(1) of the Act. Admittedly, against the resumption orders passed by the Tahsildar, a remedy of appeal is provided under Section 4-A(1) of the Act before the Revenue Divisional Officer concerned. But, the petitioner without availing the alternative remedy of appeal, has chosen to question the impugned order by filing the instant writ petition. The case of the petitioner is that the said land is not an assigned land, but it is a patta land and the Tahsildar has not considered the relevant documents. I am not inclined to appreciate the said contention in view of the remedy of appeal available to the petitioner. Having regard to the facts of the case, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to file an appeal before the appropriate authority. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. Date:22.01.2008 ccm
