Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondent Nos.1 to 5. W.P.No.20128 OF 2024 DR,J 3. The grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner is the absolute owner and possessor of the subject property admeasuring an extent of Ac. 1.200 cents situated at T.P. Kota Village, Nagalapuram Mandal, Tirupati District, having acquired the said property by inheritance from his father through a registered Settlement Deed dated 21.01.2019. Since then, the petitioner has been in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject property. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the 4th respondent has illegally amended the extents of the subject property of the petitioner without following due process of law and has reduced and modified the extents in the revenue records in favour of third parties. In this regard, the petitioner made an application dated 24.08.2024 to respondent Nos.3 and 4, seeking rectification of the illegally modified records and to restore the correct extents. However, even after receipt of the said application/representation, the respondent authorities have neither considered the same nor issued any proceedings with respect to the illegal amendment/modification of certain extents of the subject property belonging to the petitioner. Hence, the present Writ Petition is filed. 5. The learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents submits that the petitioner and the unofficial respondent are legal heirs with respect to the subject property. W.P.No.20128 OF 2024 DR,J 6. The learned counsel for the unofficial respondent/6th respondent submits that the 6th respondent preferred an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, claiming rights over the subject property, after considering the said appeal, passed an order dated 15.03.2022, observing that an appeal against the said order lies before the Joint Collector, Chittoor. 7. Having considered the submissions of both learned counsel and on perusal of the material on record, this Court is of the considered view that the Writ Petition can be disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to avail the statutory remedy available under Section 9 of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, by filing a revision before the Joint Collector against the order dated 15.03.2022 of the Revenue Divisional Officer. 8. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No orders as to costs. Consequently, Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, pending in the writ petition shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE D.
