Counsel for the Petitioner : MR. M.LAXMAN Counsel for the Respondent No.1: GP FOR REVENUE The Court at the stage of admission made the following : THE HON’BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO.6381 OF 2005 ORDER : This writ petition is filed aggrieved by the action of the 1st respondent – Mandal Revenue Officer, Doma Mandal, Rangareddy District in initiating enquiry under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971. As can be seen from the material on record, the 1st respondent having initiated the proceedings, issued the notice in Form-VIII, dated 15-2-2005 under Section 5(8) of the Act calling upon the petitioner to submit his objections, if any, against the proposed action. The petitioner challenges the said action on the ground that since the 1st respondent - Mandal Revenue Officer has already passed an order dated 25-4-2002 holding that the claims of the respective parties cannot be decided by him that it is necessary to seek adjudication by the Civil Court, it is not open to the Mandal Revenue Officer to again take up the enquiry under the impugned notice dated 15-2-2005. It is always open to the petitioner to raise such objection before the Mandal Revenue Officer in response to the impugned notice dated 15-2-2005, and the interference of this Court at this stage is not warranted. The Writ Petition being premature, I am not inclined to entertain the same. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of granting leave and liberty to the petitioner to submit the objections, if any, to the impugned notice dated 15-2-2005 within a period of one week from today. If any such objections are filed by the petitioner, the 1st respondent – Mandal Revenue Officer shall consider the same and appropriate orders be passed in accordance with law within six weeks thereafter. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ______________________ 30th March, 2005. gbs To 1.The Mandal Revenue Officer, Doma Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. 2.
