1 - 3 of 3 (0.47 seconds)B. Adinarayana Murthy vs Collector Ananthapur Dist. And Another on 30 October, 1999
3. The learned counsel for the appellant placing reliance on the judgment of a learned Single Judge of this Court rendered in B. Adinarayana Murthy v. Collector, Ananthapur District, contended that the authorities below ought not to have cancelled the patta granted to the petitioner as far back as on 5-6-1977 and that it was impermissible for the respondent authorities to cancel patta under any circumstances after 5 or 6 years from the date of grant of patta. The learned Counsel next contended that under Rule 19 of the Laoni Rules, 1950, the Mandal Revenue Officer before cancelling the patta did not give the petitioner three months time to bring the land under cultivation as required under the proviso to that rule. The learned Counsel next contended that the claim of the respondents that since the land was not brought under cultivation by the petitioner and since the land was lying fallow, the possession of the same was taken over in the month of December, 1990, as stated in paragraph (3) of the counter affidavit filed in W.P.No. 18291 of 1999, is a false statement and if that is so, there was no need for the Mandal Revenue Officer to direct the Mandal Revenue Inspector, Kamareddy to take the land into Government custody in his order dated 31-12-1997.
