RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 20581 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: The petitioner, in the present writ petition, assails the action of the respondent in not furnishing the proper and correct records to him relating to land admeasuring Ac.4.99 cents, in survey no.113-1, Anantapur Rural, Anantapur district. The facts in brief, which are necessary for disposal of the present writ petition are as under; Earlier petitioner filed W.P. No. 1900 of 2004 questioning the action of the respondents therein in not issuing 10-1 Chitta and 10-2 adangal and dyclats from 10.2.1970 to 2003 with regard to land admeasuring Ac.4.99 cents in Survey no.113-1, and the same was disposed of by orders dated 4.2.2004 directing the respondents therein to consider the representation of the petitioner. Alleging non implementation of the said orders, petitioner file a contempt case in C.C No. 360 of 2005 and the same was dismissed by order dated 17.6.2005 on the statement made by respondent in counter that the certified copies of the documents sought by the petitioner are ready and petitioner is at liberty to obtain the same. The petitioner alleges that since he has filed cases against the respondents, they have colluded with other persons and altered the records relating to land admeasuring Ac.4.99 in survey no.113-1 and fraudulently removed the name of his grand father and incorporated the name of one S Tholisamma w/o S Venkatesam. It is further stated that the petitioner has made a representation dated 11.8.2005 to rectify the mistakes and to make necessary corrections and alleges that no action is taken by the respondent. Hence, the present writ petition. Though, sufficient time is granted, the respondent failed to file counter in the matter. However, today when the matter is taken up, learned Government Pleader for Revenue submitted that the writ petition is not maintainable and if the petitioner has any grievance with regard to entries made in the records, a remedy of appeal to Revenue Divisional Officer is provided under section 5 of the A.P. Rights in Land a n d Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971. The learned counsel for petitioner admitted the same and prayed that the petitioner may be permitted to avail the said remedy. Both counsel agreed for disposal of the writ petition at the admission stage. Having regard to the fact that an alternative remedy of appeal is provided under section 5 of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the petitioner to prefer an appeal within four weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order and if any such appeal is filed, the same shall be considered and disposed of in accordance with law expeditiously. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________ N.V.RAMANA,J DATE: 4.3.2008 TVK ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V.
