Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.M.DAMODAR REDDY Counsel for Respondents 1 to 3: GP FOR REVENUE Counsel for Respondents 4 to 7: --- The Court at the admission stage made the following : ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Both have expressed no objection for disposal of the writ petition at the admission stage. It is not in dispute that the petitioner obtained regularization sale deed to an extent of Acs.2.03 by way of two private sale deeds under Section 5A of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattedar Passbooks Act, 1971. It is also not in dispute that the petitioner purchased the said land from Sri Narsi Reddy S/o Sanjeeva Reddy, Sri Venkat Reddy S/o. Sanjeeva Reddy, Sri Ramchandra Reddy S/o. Narayan Reddy and Sri Bala Goud S/o. Nagaiah. In fact the vendors of the petitioner have purchased only to an extent of Acs.1.03 under registered sale deed No.455, dated 16-3-1981. If that be the case, when the vendors of the petitioner are owners only to an extent of Acs.1.03 of land, the claim set up by the petitioner that he has purchased Acs.2.03 from the said vendors does not arise. In view of the same, the regularization of the sale deeds to an extent of over and above the area which was purchased by the petitioner from his vendors cannot be sustained and the same was rightly affirmed by the appellate authority as well as the revisional authority, since the petitioner cannot claim that he has purchased the said property from his vendors who have no title over and above which they have owned. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed at the admission stage. _____________________ A. Gopal Reddy, J. 20th September, 2004. Js.
