THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.2340 of 2010 ORDER: The father of the petitioners purchased an extent of 5 acres of land in Sy.No.17 of Kongarakhurd ‘B’ Village, Maheswaram Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, in the year 1992. He died in the year 2002. The petitioners filed an application before the Mandal Revenue Officer, Maheswaram, to grant succession, and to enter their names in the revenue records. The request of the petitioners was acceded to, in Feburary, 2006. The respondents 2 and 3 filed an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Ranga Reddy East Division, the 1st respondent herein, against the orders passed by the Mandal Revenue Officer, in favour of the petitioners, granting succession. They have also filed an application for grant of stay. Through his order dated 28-01-2010, the 1st respondent suspended the proceedings of the Mandal Revenue Officer. The same is challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Government Pleader for Revenue, and learned counsel for respondents 2 and 3. It is not in dispute that the father of the petitioners was recorded as the owner and possessor of five acres of land, in Sy.No.17 of Kongarakhurd ‘B’ Village, Maheswaram Mandal, on the basis of a purchase made by him, in the year 1992. After the death of the father of the petitioners, an application was filed for mutation of the entries. After conducting enquiry, the Mandal Revenue Officer, Maheswaram, granted succession, in favour of the petitioners. The respondents 2 and 3 have chosen to file an appeal against the succession proceedings. The appeal needs to be disposed of, on merits. The order of interim suspension, granted by the 1st respondent, on 28-01-2010, is without any basis. The reason is that, they did not put forward their claim, as successors. Hence, the writ petition is allowed, and the impugned order is set aside. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.09-02-2010. KO
