It is stated that the ancestors of Writ Petitioners are tenants in occupation of the lands of Narayanapuyram Village in erstwhile Chepurupalli Taluk and at present in Etcherla Mandal though held by 4 th Respondent in occupation of tenants as on the commencement of the Inams Abolition Act, but negatived the claim of the ancestors of writ petitioners to grant Ryotwari Patta to them falsely claimed that they failed to file any application for grant of the Patta before Revenue Court.

The 4 th Respondent failed to act suo motu under Section 7 of the Act to consider the claims of tenants though there is no application for such grant. Thus, the Writ Petitioners have made several Representations dated 03.01.2021, 17.10.2020, 05.01.2019, 26.08.2015, 20.08.2014, 09.12.2013, 05.06.2013 & 26.08.2011 to the 4 th respondent and also to the 3 rd respondent for grant of Ryotwari Pattas to them.

He further submitted that the ancestors of Writ Petitioners were all illiterates and were not aware of the notification issued by the Government and conduction of enquiry by Revenue Authority for grant of Ryotwari Patta. 10. Learned Senior counsel further submits that, based on the application filed by the Andhavarapu Govindarajlu (one of Inamdars) for himself and on behalf of his sons, who are 5th to 8th Respondents, as manager of family falsely claiming that there are no tenants under them, the 4th Respondent though held that there are tenants, but have not turned claiming Ryotwari Patta, has granted Ryotwari Patta to the Inamdars in respect of TD Nos. 647, 218 and 219 respectively falsely stating that notices were issued to tenants in occupation as on date of commencement of Act. Further, the 4th Respondent failed to act suo motu under Section 7 of the Act to consider the claims of tenants though there is no application for such grant. It is asserted by the Petitioners that no notices were issued or served on any of the tenants in occupation of the lands and hence the joint patta issued in favour of 5th to 8th Respondents and other Inamdaras by the 4th Respondent in his proceedings Rc.No.812/86-A, dated 10-12-1991 and grant of Ryotwari Patta to Inamdars under Section 7 of the Act in D.Dis.37/95/A, dt.29-01-1995 without considering their rights of tenants for grant of Ryotwari Patta (ancestors of Petitioners) as illegal, void and not binding on the Writ Petitioners. He further submitted that the adangal copy issued by the Revenue Authority even in the year 2015 shows the cultivation by Petitioners as evidenced by Adangal Copy clearly disclose that the Inamdars were not in possession of the lands. 11. Learned Senior counsel further submits that the rights under the Inams Abolition Act, on the ancestors of Petitioners is a statutory recognition of their eligibility for grant of Ryotwari Patta under Section 7 of the Inams Abolition Act, 1956 and cannot be denied by the 4th Respondent on those grounds. Thus, the grant of Ryotwari Patta to Andhavarapu Govindarajulu and his family members (Respondents 5 to 8) in D.Dis.37/95/A, dt.29-01-1995 pursuant to orders in proceedings Rc.No.812/86-A dated 16-12-1991 of 4th Respondent as illegal, violation of principles of natural justice, arbitrary and void. 12.

To support his contentions, learned Senior Counsel for the petitioners has relied upon a catena of decision of High Court of Kerala reported in (i) Smitha M.G. vs State of Kerala &Ors., [WA No.174/2024 dated 27.7.2022]; (ii) decision of High Court Madras in a case of B.

Chidambaram Chettiar (d) by LRs vs TKB Santanarangaswami Odayar & ors., [ (1968) 2 SCR 754 ]; In State of TN vs His Holiness Srilla Sri Ambavalana Pandarasannadhi Adheenakartha &Ors, [ (1997) 9 SCC 313 ]; In M/s Godrej Sara Lee Ltd., vs The Excise and Taxation Officer-cum-Assessing Authority, 2023 LiveLaw (SC) 70 13.

Thus the grant of Ryotwari Patta to Andhavarapu Govindarajulu and his family members i.e., respondents No.5 to 8 pursuant to orders dated 16.12.1991 of 4 th respondent, as illegal and arbitrary. 14. Per contra, learned counsel appearing for the respondents while reiterating the averments made in the counters, submits that the land covered by the Sy.No1-2 of Narayanapuram village, Etcherla Mandal, Srikakulam District, in which, the license was granted by the competent authority in favour of the 9 th respondent is not the subject matter at all in OS No.94/2022. Therefore the suit and subject matter therein is no way concerned and connected to the land covered by the License granted by the competent authority and thereby the contention raised on that basis has no locus standi.Therefore, prayed to dismiss the writ petitions. 15. Perused the material on record. 16. It is pertinent to mention there that, according to Section 4 (b) of the said Act, if the lands are held by an Inamdar, other than an institution as on the date of commencement of the Act and is in his actual occupation of the said date, the tenant who was declared to be in occupation of that lands as on 7-1-1948 by the Revenue Court under Section 5(3) of the Act shall be entitled for 2/3rd share and Inamdar is entitled for the remaining 1/3rd share. So, in view of the same, it is observed in the present case that the ancestors of Writ Petitioners are tenants in occupation of the lands of Narayanapuyram Village in erstwhile Chepurupalli Taluk and at present in Etcherla Mandal though held by 4th Respondent in occupation of tenants as on the commencement of the Inams Abolition Act, but negatived the claim of the ancestors of writ petitioners to grant Ryotwari Patla to them falsely claimed that they failed to file any application for grant of the Patta before Revenue Court. it is also the contention of the petitioners that the petitioners were all illiterate and were not aware the Notification issued by the Government and conduction of enquiry by Revenue Authority for grant of Ryotwari Patta. 17.
it is also the contention of the petitioners that the petitioners were all illiterate and were not aware the Notification issued by the Government and conduction of enquiry by Revenue Authority for grant of Ryotwari Patta. 17. Moreover it is the contention of the respondents that the land covered by the Sy.No1-2 of Narayanapuram village, Etcherla Mandal, Srikakulam District, in which, the license was granted by the competent authority in favour of the 9 th respondent is not the subject matter at all in OS No.94/2022.
