3 % THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NYAPATHY VIJAY WRIT PETITION No.38482 OF 2015
ORDER: The present Writ Petition is filed questioning the action of respondent Nos.2 and 4 in not paying the annuity amount for the land of an extent of Ac.1.03 >2 cents situated in D.No.110/E3 of Rayapudi Village, Thulluru Mandal, Guntur District which was taken over by the respondent Nos.2 to 4 payable to the petitioner as per Rule 5 of The A.P. Capital City Land Pooling Scheme (Formulation and Implementation Rules), 2015, though the petitioner has executed requisite forms.
2.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner’s mother Moturu Seetharavamma acquired the land admeasuring Ac.2.83 72 cents in D.NO.110/E3, Rayapudi Village, Thulluru Mandal, Guntur District under Registered Will deed dated 11.02.1976. As the mother of the petitioner had stayed with the petitioner during her lifetime, she had executed a Registered Settlement Deed on 27.10.1998 in favour of the petitioner, whereunder an extent of Ac.1.03 72 cents out of Ac.2.83 7 cents was settled in favour of the petitioner.
3. There were disputes between the petitioner and respondent Nos.5 to 9 and the registered settlement deed dated 27.10.1998 was cancelled through a registered cancellation deed dated
10.11.2003. Questioning the illegal
4 cancellation and the registered settlement deed, the petitioner filed O.S.No.319 of 2008 before the learned Senior Civil Judge, Mangalagiri A seeking to declare the cancellation deed as in valid and consequently to grant permanent injunction. Pursuant to trial, suit was decreed in favour of the petitioner on 18.09.2009. Subsequently, the judgment of the trial Court was confirmed in
4. A.S.No.454 of 2009 by the District Judge, Guntur on 14.06.2010. S.A.No.1283 of 2010 filed before this Court was also dismissed on 07.02.2013. In view of the adjudication in the Civil Court, the registered settlement
5. deed dated 27.10.1998 in favour of the petitioner had obtained finality. In the interregnum, petitioner consented for land pooling under the rules referred above. However, the grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent authority was not paying annuity to the petitioner as was being given to all other similarly situated persons. Hence the writ petition is filed. No counter is filed even after lapse of 10 years.
6. Heard Smt. V.Hima Bindu,
learned counsel representing Sri V.Venugopala Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. In the light of the judgment of the Civil Court, the title of the petitioner to
7. the extent of Ac.1.03 14 cents in D.No.110/E3 obtained finality and as the petitioner had consented for the land to be taken under the land pooling scheme and requisite forum, it would be appropriate for respondent authorities
5 to re-examine this aspect and grant annuity as granted to similarly placed persons under the land pooling rules within a period of eight (08) weeks from receipt of web copy of this order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as
8. to costs. Consequently, miscellaneous applications, if any, pending shall stand closed.
