THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE UJJAL BHUYAN
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.BHASKAR REDDY
Writ Appeal No.503 of 2022
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Ujjal Bhuyan)
Heard Mr. R. Dheeraj Singh, learned counsel for the
appellant; learned Government Pleader for Municipal
Administration and Urban Development appearing for
respondent No.1; learned Government Pleader for Revenue
appearing for respondent No.2; Ms. M. Bhagyasri, learned
Standing Counsel appearing for respondent Nos.3 and 4;
and Mr. Kadaru Prabhakar Rao, learned counsel for
respondent No.5.
2. This intra-court appeal has been preferred assailing
the final order dated 09.06.2022 passed by the learned
Single Judge dismissing W.P.No.22918 of 2020 filed by the
appellant/writ petitioner.
3. Appellant had filed the related writ petition seeking a
declaration that the action of the 4th respondent i.e.,
Commissioner (Revenue Branch), Khammam Municipal
Corporation, in passing mutation orders in favour of the 5th
respondent in respect of House No.8-1-265 in
Roc.No.R1/241243/Revenue/2020 as illegal and arbitrary.
He therefore sought quashing of the same.
4. Respondents contested the writ petition by filing
counter affidavits.
5. Learned Single Judge declined to entertain the writ
petition, but granted liberty to the appellant to avail the
alternative remedy.
6. From a perusal of the order dated 09.06.2022, we
find that learned Single Judge has commented on the merit
of the appellant's case, but at the same time relegated the
appellant to the forum of alternative remedy.
7. In the hearing today, learned counsel for the
appellant submits that appellant would approach the 4th
respondent seeking revocation of the mutation order.
8. In view of the above, we make it clear that
observations and findings rendered by the learned Single
Judge while dismissing the writ petition shall not come in
the way of examination of any grievance raised by the
appellant before the 4th respondent. Those observations
and directions may be treated as only tentative; for the
purpose of deciding the maintainability of the writ petition.
9. Writ Appeal is accordingly disposed of.
Miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall
stand closed. However, there shall be no order as to costs.
