Counsel for the Petitioners: SRI ASHOK REDDY KANATHALA Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 TO 3: GP FOR REVENUE Counsel for the Respondent No.4: SRI BALLA RAVINDRANATH The Court made the following: ORDER I I .-) I ,i i THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C .V.BHASKAR REDDY WRIT PETITION No.9774 0F 2023 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking to declare the action of respondent No.2 in granting succession proceedings with Transaction No.23O0098869 in favour of respondenr No.4 on O9.O2.2O23 in respect of iand admeasuring Ac.5.31 guntas in Suruey No.262 I A situated at Chinnaramancherla Village, Bachannapet Revenue Mandal, Jangaon District, without issuing an1, notice and without considering the pendelcy of Civil Suit vide O.S.No.54 o 2Ol9 on the file of tire learned Principai Junior Civil Judge at Jangaon as illegal, arbitrary and for other appropriate reliefs. The petitioners claim to be the absolute owners and possessors of agricultural land admeasuring Ac.3.O2 guntas out of Ac.5.31 guntas in Survey No.262/A situated at Chinnaramancherla Village, Bachannapet Revenue Manda_I, Jangaon District, having acquired the sarne from their ancestors, tvhose names have been recorded in the revenue records. It is further stated that respondent No.4, without having any right or title, claiming to be the successor_in_interest of the original pattadar of the subject land filed a suit for partition vide O.S.No.54 of 2OIg on the file of the learned Princi Palt Junior Civil Judge at Jangaon ald the same is / I I I I I I t I 2 pending. The grievance of the petitioners is that even though in the pahani for the year 2Ol9-2O, the revenue authorities have mentioned that the subject land is in civil cases, without taking into consideration of the same and without issuing any notice to the petitioners, respondent No.S has issued the impugned succession proceedings vide Transaction No.2300098869 in favour of respondent No.4 in respect of the land admeasuring Ac.5.31 guntas in Survey No.262lA of Chinnaramancherla Village. Learned counsel appearing for respondent No.4, relying on the counter a-ffidavit filed on beha,lf of respondent No.4, submits that except making baid allegations that the petitioners aie the absolute owners and possessors of the subject land, having acquired the same from their ancestors, they have not produced aly document to establish their claim; in fact, the names of the predecessors-in-interest of the respondent No.4 were reflecting in the revenue records in the pattadar column from l97l-72 onwards and pattadar pass books and titled deeds were also issued in favour of his father; after the death of his father, respondent No.4 applied for succession certihcate through Dharani online portal in TM-4 application module; and acting upon the said application, respondent No.5 has rightly issued the impugned succession proceedings in his favour. t \ 3 Considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. It appears that therc are serious disputes among the parties with regard to tit1e, possession and consequential mutation of entries in the revenue records-.in respect of the subject lard, which are required to be decided by a competent Civil Court in a comprehensive civil suit based on evidence. In view of the above, this Court without expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition by relegating the petitioners to approach the competent civil court seeking appropriate relief, in accordance with law. It is made clear that the interim order dated 1 1.O4.2O23 granted by this Court would operate for a period of three months from today, to enable the petitioners to approach the civil court. The ',r'rit petition is accordingly disposed of. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to cost S. //TRUE COPY// SD/-'I-.TIRUMALA DEVI DEPIJTY REGISTRAR SECTION OFFICER To l
