Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (A.P.) for respondents. Considering the nature of relief sought for by the petitioner, with the consent of both the counsel, the writ petition itself is taken up for disposal at the stage of admission.

The petitioner challenges the order dated 10.03.2015 passed by the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, SPSR Nellore District, as arbitrary and illegal.

Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner claims to be the successor in interest of the property in different survey numbers situated in Pudur Village, Naidupeta Mandal, SPSR Nellore District, having succeeded the same through her grand mother, paternal uncle and thereafter her father. The petitioner’s grandmother as well as her paternal uncle were granted pattadar pass books in respect of the schedule property. After the demise of petitioner’s her parents, she being the only successor in interest, made an application to the 3rd respondent-Tahsildar seeking certain information. As the said information was not furnished, the petitioner was forced to approach this Court by filing W.P.No.12803 of 2012, which was disposed of vide order dated 31.07.2012 leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue the remedy of appeal under Section 5(5) of the Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’) before the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Nellore. On appeal being filed before the Revenue Divisional Officer, the same was dismissed vide order dated 07.07.2014 observing that the subject lands in appeal are patta lands and as stated by the respondents, civil dispute is pending before the Civil Court and hence the prayer of the petitioner can be considered after disposal of the civil disputes. As against the said order the petitioner approached the 1st respondent-revisional authority and the revisional authority passed the impugned order dated 10.03.2015, which reads as under.

“Hence, this case is remanded to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Naidupet, to pursue the matter/re-enquire the case and dispose of the same with an appropriate order after the out come of the Civil Suit Judgment, which is pending in the Civil Court. If the petitioner succeeds in the Suit for property claim, she may approach the Revenue Divisional Officer or Revenue Authorities and the relevant authority will take up the correction of entry in the record of rights.

Hence this case is closed with the above direction.”

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is total non-application of mind right from the order of Revenue Divisional Officer to the Joint Collector. Though the Revenue Divisional Officer had stated that there are civil cases pending at any point of time there was no mention about the cases pending or the parties at whose instance the cases are pending. According to the petitioner no cases are pending with respect to the property in question, and neither the petitioner nor his predecessors in interest, at any point of time, had received notice with regard to the alleged cases. The learned counsel further submits that in spite of the petitioner making repeated requests, the details in relation to the pending cases were not furnished. Therefore, left with no alternative, the petitioner approached this Court by filing the present writ petition.

Considering the pleadings as well as the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, I am constrained to observe that right from the beginning the petitioner has not approached the appropriate authority for redressal of her grievance. It is the case of the petitioner that she has acquired the property in question by way of succession. It is also the case of the petitioner, as evidenced in the material placed before this Court that her grandmother, paternal uncle and her father were granted pattadar passbooks with respect to properties in question, and with respec
