(B. VIJAYSEN REDDY, J.)
This writ petition is filed by the petitioner to declare the impugned order dated 03.03.2022 passed by respondent No.2 - District Collector, Mulugu District (erstwhile Warangal), as being violative of principles of natural justice and Article 14 and 300-A of the Constitution of India and contrary to the provisions of the Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 2020 (for short ‘Act 2020’); and for a consequential direction to respondent No.2 to issue pattadar passbook to him in respect of the land admeasuring Acs.4-11 guntas
The court emphasized that pattadar passbooks must be issued only after valid mutation proceedings, and any orders issued without such proceedings are void.
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.
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.
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.
