P R K AMERANDRA KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1.GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following: :: ORDER :: The above writ petition has been filed in not considering the application made by the petitioner on 23.10.2024 for the supply of documents under the provisions of the Right to Information Act, 2005, as illegal and arbitrary. Heard Sri P.R.K. Amarendra Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Bhagat Singh, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, appeared for respondents 1 to 4. 2. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner and family members owned agricultural lands in R.S.Nos.37/1, 43/1, 583/2, 32 of Bandivarigudem, T. Narasapuram Mandal, Eluru District. The petitioner’s father’s name was deleted from the revenue records. The petitioner made an application to respondent No.4 to furnish 10(1) Agangal copies for the 2010-2011 on 23.10.2024. The petitioner filed an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer on 13.12.2024, wherein the respondent No.3 directed respondent No.4 - Tahsildar to supply documents. However, respondent No.4 year has not supplied the documents. SRS,J W P.No.11518 of 2025 Sri Bhagat Singh, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, would submit that the petitioner filed an appeal on the file of respondent No.3. Respondent No.3 issued an endorsement dated 06.02.2025. Aggrieved by the said endorsement, the petitioner filed a second appeal before the RTI Commissioner, and the same is pending. 4. The writ petition was listed on 07.05.2025, and this Court directed the learned Assistant Government Pleader to produce the proceedings of respondent No.3. Accordingly, the proceedings of respondent No.3 vide Rc.No.1503/2024/G, dated 06.02.2025, are produced before this Court. A perusal of the proceedings, respondent No.3 informed the petitioner that the information sought by the petitioner is not available in the office of respondent No.4. The averment made in para No.3 of the affidavit that respondent No.3 directed respondent No.4 to supply information is false. In fact, as narrated supra, the second appeal filed by the petitioner is pending before the Commissioner and the petitioner approached this Court without disclosing the true and correct facts. 5. 6. 7. Thus, this court concludes that the petitioner approached this Court with unclean hands by suppressing the material facts. This Court does not find merit in the writ petition, and the same is liable to be dismissed. Though the writ petition is liable to be dismissed with costs, however, considering the status of the petitioner being a farmer, this Court is not imposing costs. Given the facts and circumstances of the case, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. any 8. As a sequel, pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed.
