Heard Sri K.Srinivas, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for respondents. 3. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner has filed an application before respondent no.3 seeking to set aside the orders of the Tahsildar, V.Kota as well as respondent no.5 has also filed an appeal before respondent no.3 seeking to delete the entries made in favour of the petitioner. Initially, respondent no.3 has rejected the application filed by some third parties, but surprisingly, he entertained the appeal filed by respondent no.5 and he dismissed the appeal filed by the petitioner. Hence the Writ Petition. 4 4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the respondents submitted that as against the impugned orders, there is a statutory provision of Revision before the Joint Collector. 5. In view of the said circumstances, this Court is not inclined to go into the merits of the case. Hence, notice to respondent no.5 is dispensed with. Liberty is given to the petitioner to approach the Joint Collector by way of a Revision within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of a copy of the order and it is also needless to say that along with the Revision, the petitioner is also entitled to file an interim application for protection of his right and if any such application is filed, the Joint Collector is directed to pass appropriate orders expeditiously. Till disposal of the Revision and interim application by the Joint Collector, there shall be a direction to the respondents to maintain status-quo with regard to revenue records. 6. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. As a sequel thereto, interlocutory applications pending, if any, in the writ petition, shall also stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE D.RAMESH 04.11.2025 RD 5 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE D.RAMESH WRIT PETITION NO.29319 OF 2025 04.11.2025 RD
