THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.9054 of 2002 DATED 02.09.2009 BETWEEN: Nawab Wasisuddin Khan and others … Petitioners AND The Collector, Medak District, at Sanga Reddy, Medak and another. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.9054 of 2002 ORDER: Petitioners who are seven in number allegedly have a share in the property admeasuring 7,774 square yards (hereafter referred to as ‘petition schedule land’) situated at Zaheerabad, Medak District. The land is known as Khan Bagh and petitioners claim right under Muntakab No.13, dated 14.02.1985. They allege that respondents are trying to evict them without adopting due process of law though the same does not fall under Jagir Abolition Act, 1358F (1948 A.D). Therefore, they filed instant writ petition seeking a writ of Mandamus for declaration and direction. The Mandal Revenue Officer – second respondent; filed counter affidavit stating that Tahsil Office was situated in petition schedule land in the middle of Zaheerabad village under Gouthan land and that there is no proof that the property is owned by family of Nawab Masiuddin, S/o late Nawab Moinuddoula. The old Tahsil office has been in the custody of Revenue Department. As the old structure collapsed, the land was put to auction and notice was issued on 04.04.1995. Challenging the same, one Smt.Iftequarunnisa Begum filed W.P.No.7912 of 1995. One Sri Nawab Akbaruddin also filed W.P.No.10586 of 2001 claiming Khan Bagh. The Tahsil Office was shifted to private building and the Khan Bagh land is still in possession of Revenue Department. The allegation that petitioners are in possession of land is denied. The allegation that petitioners have title is also denied stating that Mandal Revenue Officer, Zaheerabad, erected display board mentioning that land belongs to Revenue Department, and therefore, the question of dispossession of petitioners does not arise. It is further stated that the Jail Building (house No.1-2-42), Tahsil Office (house No.1-2-44) and Tahsil Office Quarters (house No.1-2-43) are situated in Khan Bagh. Petitioners have not filed any reply affidavit denying counter averments. Therefore, from the uncontroverted counter averments, it stands proved that petition schedule property, which is claimed by petitioners, is not Jagir land and it vested in Revenue Department. This Court, however, hastens to add that as Smt.Iftequarunnisa Begum and Sri Nawab Akbaruddin also filed writ petitions. The rights, if any, have to be worked out by petitioners in those writ petitions. In this case, no order can be granted in favour of petitioners as prayed. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 02.09.2009 pln
