THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.25975 OF 2009 DATED: 30.11.2009 Between: Smt. Andru Nagaratnam .. Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Jangareddigudem, W.G. District and another. .. Respondents ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue for the respondents. Petitioner claims that she is the owner and possessor of the agricultural land in an extent of Ac.4.77 cents in R.S.No.849/1 of Buttaigudem Village and Mandal, West Godavari District, having got the same towards ‘pasupu kumkuma’ from her father, in the year 1955. It is her case that, in the year 1993, though the Special Deputy Tahsildar, K.R.Puram, West Godavari District, filed a complaint before the Special Deputy Collector, Tribal Welfare, K.R. Puram, under the provisions of the A.P. Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation 1959 as amended by 1/70, alleging that the subject land is situated in agency area and the petitioner, who is a non-tribal, is in possession of the same in contravention of the said Regulation, the said complaint was disallowed by the Special Deputy Collector, by order dated 31.08.1993, and the said order became final in the absence of any appeal preferred against it. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that, though her possession of the subject land is declared to be valid as aforesaid, the 2nd respondent- Mandal Revenue Officer, Buttaigudem Mandal, issued pattas in favour of third parties in respect of the subject land, and on coming to know the same, she filed an application before the 1st respondent- Revenue Divisional Officer, Jangareddigudem, West Godavari District, on 10.10.2009, seeking cancellation of pattas issued in favour of third parties, but the same is not yet considered, and, on the other hand, the tribal people, who were issued pattas, are not allowing her to cultivate the subject land, which is the only source of livelihood for her. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits, the 1st respondent is directed to consider the application filed by the petitioner on 10.10.2009 and pass appropriate orders, as per law, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU 30th November, 2009. Note:- Issue CC in three days. B/o IBL
