IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.4029 of 2007 DATED 23-8-2007 BETWEEN Karakutla Bal Reddy .. Petitioner And The Deputy Collector & Mandal Revenue Officer, Saroornagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. .. Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.4029 of 2007 Oral Order: The petitioner’s father late Karakutla Pentaiah alias Penta Reddy was a protected tenant for the land admeasuring Ac.5.00 situate at Balapur Village, Saroornagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. On an application made by the petitioner, the respondent herein issued proceedings in December, 2005 recognising the petitioner as his successor. Thereafter, the petitioner made an application in January 2007, complaining that pattadars are cutting the trees, installing stones and developing the land with a view to sell the land to third parties in spite of the succession granted in his favour. By proceedings dated 31.1.2007, the respondent ordered status quo till further orders. The petitioner thereafter requested the respondent to get the land surveyed. The surveyor was orally directed to proceed with the survey but the same was not done. Therefore, he filed the instant writ petition. Though sufficient time is granted, the learned Assistant Government Pleader did not obtain instructions. Therefore this Court is of considered opinion that the respondent may look into the matter and get the survey conducted. If the petitioner is not in possession of the land in respect of which he was granted succession, it is always open to him to move an application before the respondent under Section 32 of the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950. The writ petition, with the above observation, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ V.V.S.RAO,J Dated 23.8.2007 msv
