THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.21748 of 2011 ORDER: Heard Sri E.Madan Mohan Rao, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Telangana Area) and, at their request, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. The petitioner is aggrieved by the action of respondent No.1 in not entertaining the appeal preferred by him, under Section 10 of the Andhra Pradesh Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (for short ‘the Act’), against the order of respondent No.2 dated 06.07.2011, which was passed in exercise of his jurisdiction under Section 6 of the Act. It is petitioner’s case that he owns an extent of Ac.9.00 in Sy.Nos.84/4, 84/5 and 84/6 situated in Rachakonda Village, Narayanpur Mandal, Nalgonda District; he has been in possession thereof; his predecessors-in-title and himself were issued pattadar pass books, and their names were mutated in pahanies; respondent No.2 has issued notice dated 15.04.2011 alleging that he was in illegal occupation; the said notice was bereft of necessary particulars; it was cyclostyled and cryptic; and, aggrieved thereby, an appeal was preferred by him on 22.07.2011 but respondent No.1 was not entertaining the same. Under Section 10(1) of the Act, an appeal shall lie to the Collector from any decision or order passed by the Tahsildar under the Act. Sub-section (2) thereof confers power on the Collector to suspend execution of the order appealed against pending disposal of the appeal. The petitioner is said to have preferred an appeal on 22.07.2011 which Sri E.Madan Mohan Rao, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, states respondent No.1 has refused even to receive. In such circumstances, I consider it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition with the following directions: (a) The first respondent shall receive the appeal, and the stay petition filed therewith, on its re-presentation by the petitioner; and (b) The first respondent shall pass orders on the stay petition filed by the petitioner within a period of two weeks from today. (c) For a period of three weeks from today, there shall be interim stay of dispossession of the petitioner from the property in question. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:02.08.2011 Note:CC in two days bo usd
