D. V. S. S. SOMAYAJULU
Alavala Venkkata Reddy – Appellant
Versus
State of A. P. – Respondent
ORDER :
This writ petition is filed for the following relief :
R.S. Murthy and another v. Joint Collector, East Godavari District, Kakinada and others
Revenue authorities can issue pattadar passbooks based on records but lack jurisdiction to resolve title disputes, which must be addressed in civil court.
The court emphasized the necessity of exhausting statutory remedies before seeking judicial intervention in land disputes, affirming that the right of appeal must be explicitly provided by law.
The court emphasized that pattadar passbooks must be issued only after valid mutation proceedings, and any orders issued without such proceedings are void.
THE REVENUE DIVISIONAL OFFICER HAS NO JURISDICTION TO ENTERTAIN A REPRESENTATION QUESTIONING THE MUTATION OF NAMES IN REVENUE RECORDS WITHOUT AN APPEAL BEING FILED UNDER SECTION 5(5) OF THE ROR ACT.
Revenue authorities may not adjudicate on civil title disputes under A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act; parties should approach civil court for resolution.
