2. With the consent, finally heard.

3. During the course of hearing, learned counsel for the parties reached to a consensus. It is agreed that admittedly, the present appellant preferred an appeal under Section 5(5) of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short, “the Act”). Learned Single Judge came to hold that the appeal was not entertainable as on the date of filing of appeal under Section 5(B) of the Act. It is agreed that since the appeal was preferred under Section 5(5) of the Act and learned Single Judge has not examined as to whether the appeal is tenable under the said section, the impugned order dated 29.11.2024 passed in W.P. No. 7400 of 2019, may be set aside and the matter may be remitted back to the learned Single Judge to decide it afresh in accordance law.

4. In view of consensus arrived at, the impugned order dated 29.11.2024 is set aside. W.P No. 7400 of 2019 is restored to its original number. Learned Single Judge may decide the said writ petition afresh in accordance with law.

5. Accordingly, this Writ Appeal is disposed of without expressing any opinion on merits of the case. No costs.

Interlocutory applications, if any pending, shall also stand closed.
