The court directed the revenue authority to dispose of a pending statutory appeal for the rectification of fraudulent revenue entries within a fixed timeframe of three months to ensure timely administrative justice.

ORDER : (ORAL)

The limited grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that respondent No.3 is not disposing of her appeal dated 08.09.2025 filed seeking rectification of fraudulent entries to the extent of incorporating the names of Smt. K. Balamma, Mr. K. Sridhar and Mr. Prema Raju (respondent Nos.1 to 3 therein) in the revenue records relating to the subject land admeasuring Acs.14-29 guntas in Survey No.122 of Kokirevu Village, Nawabpet Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District.

2. Heard Ms. B. Keerthi Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Mr. L. Ravinder, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, appearing for the respondents, and perused the material available on record.

3. It is claimed by the petitioner that her father late Rayikanti Narayana @ R. Nareayana served as School Assistant at Government Junior College, Shadnagar. He died intestate on 14.03.1988, while in service, leaving behind the petitioner as his legal heir and successor to his estate. That during his lifetime, the father of the petitioner purchased the subject land under the registered sale deed bearing document No.724 of 1977 dated 08.06.1977. His name was mutated in the revenue records as pattadar and possessor. A small dwelling house was constructed in the subject land. The petitioner claims succession over the subject land. Enquiry was conducted by the Tahsildar, Nawabpet Mandal, as prescribed under ROR Act and the name of the petitioner was duly incorporated in the revenue records as pattadar.

4. While so, the petitioner came to know that the names of the third parties, who claim that a Sadabainama was executed in their favour and validated by the Tahsildar under Section 5A of ROR Act , have been incorporated in the revenue records by deleting the petitioner’s name against the subject land. It is submitted that the alleged Sadabainama and its validation are fraudulent and illegal. The petitioner filed appeal on 08.09.2025 before respondent No.3 for rectification of fraudulent entries in the revenue records, but the same is not being disposed of. As there has been inordinate delay in disposing of the appeal filed on 08.09.2025, the petitioner is constrained to approach this Court.

5. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue submitted that the appeal of the petitioner would be disposed of as expeditiously as possible.

6. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.3 to dispose of the appeal of the petitioner filed on 08.09.2025 for rectification of fraudulent entries made against the subject land to an extent of Acs.14-29 guntas in Survey No.122 of Kokirevu Village, Nawabpet Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District, within a period of three (03) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, by issuing notice to the petitioner and respondent Nos.1 to 3 therein and also by affording them an opportunity of being heard. There shall be no order as to costs.

As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous applications, if any, pending in this writ petition stand closed.
