Arjun Chowdary, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, Stamps & Registration. 2. Basing on the Written Instruction furnished by the Tahsildar, Velgode Mandal along with the copy of the Order passed by the Tahsildar dated 20.06.2023 (which is an Order of Rejection), this Court had directed the Tahsildar, Velgode Mandal, to furnish proof of evidencing the fact that the said Order of the Tahsildar dated 20.6.2023 has, in fact, been served on the Writ Petitioner or not. 3. Sri K. Arjun Chowdary, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, Stamps & Registration has submitted a photograph which indicates that a person is holding a loose strip of paper against the wall of the house belonging to the Writ Petitioner. The said photograph does not indicate the Rejection Order is in fact pasted with glue on the wall of the house of the Writ Petitioner. that 4. In this view of the matter, this Court is of the opinion that the Tahsildar did not take steps to effectively serve a copy of the Rejection Order dated 20.6.2023 in a proper manner. The least that the Tahsildar done to ensure that the Rejection Order i could have IS served on the Writ Petitioner is that he could have pasted with glue or gum on the wall of the house of the Writ Petitioner rather than clicking a photo with a person holding a loose sheet against a wall, which is a reflected in the photograph. Since the Tahsildar has passed the Order dated 20.06.2023 without serving a copy on the Writ etitioner, this Court is of the opinion that the said Order is not sustainable for want of adherence to the Principles of Natural Justice, dated 20.06.2023, that Accordingly, the Order was never served on the Writ Petitioner, is set aside. The Tahsildar, Velgode Mandal (Respondent No.4) is once again directed to \ 3 de novo consider the Spandana Application submitted by the Writ Petitioner dated 22.05.2023 (Ex.P.4) and the Representation dated 03.01.2024 (Ex.P.1) afresh and pass a Speaking Order in accordance with law within a period of six weeks from today and furnish a copy of such Order to the Writ Petitioner forthwith.
