THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE E.V.VENUGOPAL WRIT PETITION No.31906 of 2025

ORDER

This Writ Petition is filed seeking a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents 2 to 5 in not considering the representation of the petitioner dated 13.10.2025, requesting to stop mutation of the names of respondent Nos.6 and 7 with regard to the petitioner’s land to an extent of Acs.4.00 guntas in Sy.No.86/A/2/3, situated at Degama Village, Bazarhatnoor Mandal, Adilabad District (hereinafter referred to as the “subject property”), as illegal, arbitrary and in violation of Article 300-A of the Constitution of India, and consequently, to direct the respondent No.2 not to entertain any alienation or registration with regard to the subject property till the disposal of the writ petition.

2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri L. Ravinder, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the absolute owner and possessor of the subject land, having inherited the same from his ancestors. The name of the petitioner has been entered in the revenue records, and a digital Pattadar Passbook bearing No. T13030160122, vide Khata No.317, was also issued in his favour. Since then, the petitioner has been in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the same.

4. While things stood thus, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that respondent Nos.6 and 7, who are strangers to the property, made an application before the 5th respondent on 07.08.2025 for mutation of their names in the revenue records on the basis of a sada bainama purportedly executed by the petitioner. He submits that the petitioner has no relationship with respondents 6 and 7 and has never executed the said sada bainama. He further submits that, based on fabricated documents, respondents 6 and 7 are attempting to incorporate their names in the revenue records. Aggrieved by such action, the petitioner made a representation before the 2nd respondent on

13.10.2025. He further submits that the petitioner has also filed a suit for perpetual injunction before the Special Deputy Collector, ITDA, P.O. Utnoor, Adilabad District, against respondents 6 and 7, in which they have already entered their vakalat, and the said suit is pending consideration. The petitioner contends that there is every likelihood of respondents 6 and 7 succeeding in incorporating their names in the revenue records based on the fabricated sada bainama. Despite receipt and acknowledgment of his representation dated 13.10.2025 by the 2nd respondent, no action has been taken till date. Hence, the petitioner seeks appropriate directions from this Court.

5. On the other hand, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, upon instructions, submits that the petitioner has not furnished details regarding the pending suit before the Special Deputy Collector, which he claims to have filed against the unofficial respondents. He further submits that before taking any action, the official respondents will follow the due process of law. He also submits that the petitioner approached this Court merely on apprehension, at a premature stage. Having already approached the competent forum, filing the present writ petition is both premature and misconceived. Hence, he seeks dismissal of the same.

6. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, and after examining the material on record, this Court, without making any observations on the merits or demerits of the case, is of the opinion that since the petitioner has submitted a representation dated 13.10.2025 before the 2^nd respondent/District Collector, and in view of the submission made by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue that due process of law will be followed before taking any action on the said representation, there are no grounds to entertain this writ petition.

7. However, the 2nd respondent is directed to consider the pe
