By the Principal Secretary, Department of Revenue, Secretariat, Hyderabad, and, ors. …Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU Writ Petition No. 13233 OF 2009. ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a Certiorari to quash the order passed by the third respondent in proceedings RC.No. 1516/2007/D2, dated 14.8.2008. From the impugned order dated 14.8.2008 it appears that on a representation filed by one Sri G. Jayachandra naidu, who is the father of the petitioner herein, for issuance of Pattadar Pass Books and title deeds for the land admeasuring Ac.44.90 in Sy.No. 26/C of Mudasarlove village in Visakhapatnam rural Mandal, notice was issued twice on 28.6.2008 and 8.7.2008 to the said Sri G.Jayachandra Naidu, with a direction to appear before the Joint Collector, Visakhapatnam along with original documents in support of his claim. Accordingly, on 8.7.2008, the said Sri G.Jayachandra naidu attended before the Joint Collector, Visakhapatnam, however, he did not produce any original documents in support of his claim. Thereafter, the subject matter was examined and after verifying the records, it was found that the land in Sy.No. 26 of Mudasarlova village was classified as Government Land and as Municipal Water Works land and that all the records produced by the applicant were found to be tampered/manipulated. In those circumstances, the Tahsildar, Visakhapatnam (Rural) was directed to comply the orders of this Court in Writ Petition Nos. 3124 of 2007, 15104 of 2007, 15103 of 2007 and 15578 of 2007 by passing appropriate orders and file criminal case against all the concerned for misrepresentation of the facts by submitting false and fabricated documents. Stating so, the representation was disposed of, keeping it open to the applicant to produce the documents, if any, before the Tahsildar, Visakhapatnam (Rural), the investigating Officer, to prove genuineness of his claim. Aggrieved by the same, the present Writ Petition is filed. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that by the time the order passed by the Joint Collector was received by the petitioner, the representation filed before the Tahsildar was disposed of on 9.8.2008. Therefore, the question of again approaching the Tahsildar does not arise. It is to be seen that against the order dated 9.8.2008, statutory remedy of appeal is available before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Visakhapatnam. In that view of the matter, it is open for the petitioner to file an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Visakhapatnam against the order dated 9.8.2008, if so aggrieved, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. On such filing of the appeal, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Visakhapatnam shall entertain the same without raising any objection as to limitation and dispose of the same, uninfluenced by the any of the observations made in the order dated 14.8.2008 by the District Collector, Visakhapatnam, and, in accordance with law. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No order as to costs. ------------------------------- JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU DATED 12TH NOVEMBER, 2009. Note: CC in two days. (BO) Msnr.
