Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.MPAPA REDDY Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE P.V.SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No : 4231 of 1998 O R D E R: Heard Sri Praveen Kumar, Advocate for Sri M.Papa Reddy, learned counsel for the Petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for Respondent Nos.1 and 2. This Writ Petition is ﬁled challenging the proceedings of the Inams Tribunal-cum-Revenue Divisional Oﬃcer, Chevella Division, Ranga Reddy District, Hyderabad in ﬁle No.L/3842/82, 3843/82 and 5981/892 dated 25-10-1997 passed in relation to the claim of the Petitioner under the A.P.(Telangana Area) Abolition of Inams Act,1955 (for short ‘the Act’) for grant of an occupancy certificate. It is brought to the notice of this Court by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that the issue is squarely covered by the Judgments of this Court in Writ Petition No. 199 of 1998 and Writ Appeal No.975 of 2002. The orders passed in the above cases are placed before me. In Writ Petition No. 199 of 1998, the very same proceedings, which are under challenge in the present Writ Petition, were challenged and a learned Single Judge of this Court by order dated 08-06-2001 set aside the same and remanded the matter to the Revenue Divisional Oﬃcer, Chevella Division, Ranga Reddy District for fresh consideration. Writ Appeal No.975 of 2002 was ﬁled against the order of the learned Single Judge in Writ Petition No.199 of 1998 and a Division Bench of this Court, by its order dated 01-10-2002, while conﬁrming the order passed by the learned Single Judge setting aside the impugned proceedings, set aside the order insofar as the remand to the Revenue Divisional Oﬃcer for fresh consideration under Section 4 of the Act was concerned. In the light of the Judgments passed in the aforesaid cases, it is clear that the impugned proceedings dated 25-10-1997 are unsustainable and accordingly, the Writ Petition is allowed setting aside the proceedings of the Inams Tribunal-cum-Revenue Divisional Oﬃcer, Chevella Division, Ranga Reddy District in ﬁle No. L/3842/82, 3843/82 and 5981/892 dated 25-10-1997. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ P.V.SANJAY KUMAR,J Date: 17-09-2008 KLP
