THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.7455 of 2002 Dated:24.06.2010 Between: M/s.John Meyers Granite Limited. ...Petitioner And District Collector, Khammam, Khammam District, And others. ...Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.7455 of 2002 ORDER: The writ petition is filed seeking a writ of mandamus declaring the action of respondent Nos.2 and 3 in refusing to effect mutation of the name of the petitioner company in the record of rights and refusing to issue pattadar pass books and title deeds by order dated 27.11.1999 as illegal and arbitrary. This Court initially ordered status quo. Subsequently, respondent Nos.1 to 3 filed W.V.M.P.No.3917 of 2002. The interim order was vacated by this Court on 27.06.2005, and the said order reads as under. W.V.M.P.No.3917 of 2002 This petition has been filed by the respondents 1 to 3 in W.P.7455/02. Respondents 1 to 3 in the writ petition has filed counter affidavit. It is stated in the counter affidavit that the land admeasuring Ac.8.39 gts. In survey No.63 of Danavaigudem village, has been acquired by the Government in the year 1978 itself. When this vacate petition has come up for hearing, there is no representation on behalf of the writ petitioner. In view of the fact that the land has been acquired by the Govt. in 1978, I deem it appropriate not to continue the order of status quo granted on 26.04.2002. Accordingly, this vacate petition is allowed and the order of status quo dated 26.04.2002 in W.P.7455/02 is hereby vacated. In view of the fact that the land has already been acquired in 1978 and the land vests in the State by reason of Section 12 of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, pattadar pass books cannot be issued nor the petitioner’s name can be entered in the revenue records. The Writ Petition is, therefore, dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 24.06.2010 vs
