GORRE NARENDRA Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. THOMMANDURU V SARADHI 2. GP FOR REVENUE 3 CMR,J & GTK,J W.A.No.76 of 2026 The Court made the following: ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Cheekati Manavendranath Roy) The appellant is the unsuccessful writ petitioner in writ petition No.24219 of 2025. He has filed the writ petition to declare the action of respondent No.3-The Revenue Divisional Officer, Kadapa District, in entertaining the application filed by the 4th respondent therein under Section 23 of Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 (for short, ‘the Act’) as illegal and contrary to the provisions of the Act. The said writ petition came to be disposed of by the impugned order. Aggrieved thereby, he has preferred the present writ appeal under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent Act. 2. Heard Mr. Gorre Narendra, learned counsel for the appellant, learned Government Pleader for Revenue for respondent Nos.1 to 3 and Mr. Thommanduru V Saradhi, learned counsel for unofficial respondent Nos.4 to 6. 3. The writ petitioner is the respondent in O.P.No.1 of 2025 on the file of the learned Revenue Divisional Officer, Kadapa District. The mother of the writ petitioner filed an application under Section 23 of the Act before the learned Revenue Divisional Officer, seeking reliefs under the Act against him. 4. One of the reliefs claimed in the said application is relating to cancellation of the gift deed executed in favour of the writ petitioner. 5. The writ petitioner filed the writ petition on the ground that the 3rd respondent-The Revenue Divisional Officer has no jurisdiction to entertain the application relating to cancellation of the said gift deed. It is also his case that a civil suit is pending, relating to cancellation of the said gift deed and the Revenue Divisional Officer cannot adjudicate the said lis. 6. The learned Single Judge, by the impugned order, disposed of the said writ petition directing the 3rd respondent-The Revenue Divisional Officer to follow the procedure under the Act strictly, while deciding the said O.P. under 4 CMR,J & GTK,J W.A.No.76 of 2026 Section 23 of the Act, granting liberty to the petitioner to place all the relevant material to substantiate his claim with regard to the gift deed. Further, the learned Single Judge directed the learned Revenue Divisional Officer to decide the said O.P. expeditiously. 7. As can be seen from the impugned order of the learned Single Judge, the learned Single Judge did not decide anything on merits relating to the lis. When it is the grievance of the writ petitioner that the learned Revenue Divisional Officer has no jurisdiction to consider the prayer relating to cancellation of the gift deed, he can as well raise the said contention before the learned Revenue Divisional Officer and he has to take a final call in the final adjudication of the said O.P.No.1 of 2025 relating to the said plea raised by him. Therefore, we do not find any legal flaw or infirmity in the impugned order, warranting our interference with the impugned order, as nothing is decided on merits in the said order. 8. Therefore, the Writ Appeal is dismissed. The appellant is at liberty to raise the said plea relating to the jurisdiction of the learned Revenue Divisional Officer to entertain the said dispute before him and the learned Revenue Divisional Officer has to decide the same in the final adjudication of the said O.P. As it is an application filed by the aged mother, as directed by the learned Single Judge, the learned Revenue Divisional Officer has to dispose of the said application expeditiously. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, Interlocutory Applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________________________ JUSTICE CHEEKATI MANAVENDRANATH ROY _____________________________ JUSTICE TUHIN KUMAR GEDELA Date: 30.01.2026 MDP
