Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is aggrieved by the endorsement dated 11.07.2025 rejecting the FL application of the petitioner on the ground of pendency of a civil suit. It is submitted that the civil suit filed by the unofficial respondents in O.S. No.177 of 2011, a declaratory suit on the file of the Senior Civil Judge, Hindupur, was already considered and dismissed vide order dated 15.06.2023, and that the said suit was filed by the unofficial respondents against third parties and the petitioner is not a party to the said suit. The said aspect was also brought to the notice of the authorities by way of objections, but despite the same, the respondents have rejected the application of the petitioner vide the impugned order, and hence the present writ petition. 4 4. The learned Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the respondents submits that as against the said order, a statutory remedy is provided to the petitioner under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Survey and Boundaries Act, 1923. 5. Considering the submissions and as several factual aspects are involved, this Court is not inclined to go into the merits of the case, and this writ petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to approach the concerned authority by way of a statutory appeal. If such appeal is filed, the authority shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders within a period of two (02) months after providing an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, including the 5th respondent. The notice to the 5th respondent is dispensed with. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE D RAMESH Dt.18.11.2025 PNS
