THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5751 of 2009 ORDER: Feeling aggrieved by the issuance of pattadar pass books in favour of respondents 3 to 5 in respect of Acs.4.00 of land in Survey No.28 of Rachanapalli Village, Anantapur Rural Mandal, Anantapur District, the petitioners and certain others filed appeal under Section 5-B of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’) before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Anantapur, the second respondent herein. The appeal was allowed, through order, dated 05.02.2007. Respondents 3 to 5, in turn, filed a revision under Section 9 of the Act before the Joint Collector, Anantapur, the first respondent herein. The revision was allowed, through order, dated 18.02.2009. The first respondent took a view that having regard to the nature of civil dispute among the parties, they have to work out their remedies in a civil Court. The petitioners challenge the said order. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Even from a perusal of the order, dated 05.02.2009, passed by the second respondent, at the instance of the petitioner, it is evident that there are disputes of very serious nature, involving the legal heirs of one Sri G.Subbanna. The disputes of that nature can be resolved only by filing a suit. The revenue authorities do not have the power to pronounce upon such disputes. Therefore, no exception can be taken to the order passed by the first respondent. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioners to pursue their rights in any pending suit or by constituting a fresh suit in respect of the land in question. It hardly needs any mention that the issuance of pattadar pass books or the orders passed in relation thereto shall be subject to the outcome of the suit, as is evident from Section 8(2) of the Act. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:23.03.2009 kdl
