THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.29360 of 2010 DT.25.11.2010 Between: Chaganti Siva Prasad … Petitioner And State of Andhra Pradesh, rep.by its District Collector, Prakasam District at Ongole & others. … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Mangena Sri Rama Rao Counsel for respondents: AGP for Revenue The Court made the following ORDER: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent No.3 in acting on the petitioner’s representation for correction of entries in the record of rights, as illegal and arbitrary. According to the petitioner, respondent No.3 has erroneously entered the names of 11 persons in the record of rights in respect of land admeasuring Acs.11.76 cents in Survey No.188 of Thanamchinthala Village, Darsi Mandal, Prakasam District. On coming to know about the said fact, the petitioner has made a representation in September, 2010 requesting respondent No.3 to delete those names and enter his name. Feeling aggrieved by the inaction of respondent No.3 in acting on the said representation, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. I have heard Sri Mangena Sri Rama Rao, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, and perused the record. Under Section 5(1) of the A.P.Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’), the Recording Authority is empowered to make entries in the record of rights on the basis of the applications made by the parties. If any person is aggrieved by such entries, he is entitled to invoke the appeal remedy under Section 5(5) of the Act and further remedy of revision under Section 9 of the Act. Instead of availing such statutory remedies, the petitioner has once again approached respondent No.3 for reversal of the entries. As such a procedure is not envisaged by the Act, respondent No.3 is not under obligation to respond to the petitioner’s representation. Therefore, no mandamus can be issued to respondent No.3 to act on the petitioner’s representation. The writ petition is therefore dismissed, however, with liberty to the petitioner to avail the statutory remedies as noted above. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.37378 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) Date: 25.11.2010. VGB
