The facts in W.P.No.32331 of 2023, which is taken up as leading case, are as follows:- This writ petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the respondent authorities in mutating the name of respondent No.5 in Dharani Web Portal vide Transaction No.2300046634 by unauthorisedly deleting the name of the petitioner therefrom in respect of the land adrneasuring Ac. 1.39 guntas in Survey No.i045 and Ac. 1.38 guntas in Sur-vey No. 1046/ 1 , total admeasuring Ac.3.37 guntas situated at Ameenpur Village and Mandal, Sangareddy District and for other appropriate reliefs.

It is stated that upon enforcement of the Telangala Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings) Act, the petitioner has fi1ed a rleclaration and on being declared as surplus land holder, he surrendered the land to al extent of Ac.9 .12 guntas conrprising of Ac.2.38 guntas 1n Survey No.1042, Ac.2.OO in Survey No. 1043 and Ac.2.11 guntas 111 Survey No.1044 and Ac.2.03 guntas in Survey No.1047, but of total extent of A<:. 13.21 guntas; and thus, he remained to be the absolute ou.ner and possessor of retainable portion of land admeasuring Ac.1.39 guntas 1n Survey No. 1045, Ac.2.tO guntas in Survey No. 1O46, total admeasuring Ac.4.09 guntas situated at Ameenpur Village and Mandal, Sangareddy District. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the same, the respondent authorities, without issuing any notice and without taking into consideration the consistent entries in the I 3 C\'BR, J WP.No.3233l of 2023 & Batch revenue records in favour of the petitioner, arbitrarily mutated the name of respondent No.5 in respect of land admeasuring Ac. 1.39 guntas in Survey No. 1045 and Ac.1.3B guntas in Survey No.1046/1, total admeasuring Ac.3.37 guntas, out of the retainable portion of the land of the petitioner situated in Ameenput Village and Mandal, Sangareddy District. Ms. Shalini Donthi, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, vehemently contended that the respondent authorities without issuing any notice and without conducting any enquiry, have mutated the name ol respondent No.5 in respect of the said retainable portion of the petitioner's land and the said action on the part ol the respondent authorities not only anounts to violation of the provisions of Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act but a-lso amounts to violation of principles of natural justice as well as the guidelines issued by a Full Bench of the erstwhiie High Court of Andhra Pradesh in the 4 CVB& J WP.No.3233l of 2023 & Batch case of Chin,?.o,m Pandurangam us. Mandal Reuenue Officert. Mr. A.P.Reddy, learned counsel appearing for respondent No.5, vehemently contended that respondent No.5 has purchased the subject land by way of Sale Agreement- cum-General Power of Attorney and as such the respondent authorities have rightly issued the impugned proceedings mutating his name in the revenue records. Learned counsel further contended that when disputes arose with regard to the subject land, respondent No.S also filed O.S.No.24O of 2022 on the file of Special Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Prohibition and Excise Offences Court-cum-III Additional Junior Civil .-ludge, at Sanga Reddy and the same is pending for adjudication. Considr,:red the submissions of the learned counsel for the respectivt-- parties and perused the record. The petitioner claims that he is the absolute owner and possessor of the retainable portion of the subject land and he has not disposed the said land by executing any sale d.eed, ' arR 2oo8 Ap t-s 5 CVBR, J W?.No.32331 of 2023 & Batch but the respondent authorities without issuing any notice, without taking into consideration the revenue entries and without conducting any enquiry issued the impugned mutation proceedings in favour of respondent No.5. Whereas, respondent No.5 claims that he purchased the subject land under an agreement of sale-cum-General Power of Attorney and as such the respondent authorities have rightly mutated his name in the revenue records. As it is held by a Full Bench of the erstwhile High Court of Andhra Pradesh in the case of Chinnann Pandurangam (supra) that before changing/altering/deleting the entries in the record of rights, a duty is cast upon the recording authority to issue notice in writing to all persons whose names are entered in the record of rights and who are interested in or affected by the proposed amendment and as it appears that, in the instant case, no enquiry whatsoever has been conducted much less any notice has been issued by the by the respondent authorities before issuing impugned mutation proceedings in favour of respondent No.5, they deserve to be set aside. 6 C\BR, J WP.No.3233 t of 2023 & Batch In vier.v of the above, this Court without expressing any opinion on the right and entitlement of the parties, deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petitions by setting aside the respective impugned proceedings issued in favour of respondent No.5 and the consequentiai entries in the revenue records, if a.ny. made in his favour. The matter is remanded to the Tahsildar, Ameenpur Mandal, Sangareddy District, who in turn shall conducl de nouo enquiry, duly issuing notice to all the interested/effected persons, including the petitioners and responrlent No.5 in the respective writ petitions, and pass appropriate reasoned orders, after considering their explanations/objections, if any, submitted in support of their claim over lhe subject 1and, strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Telangara Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act" 2O2O and the Rules made thereunder, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
