IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT HYDERABAD FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA & THE STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE TWENTY FIRST DAY OF TWO THOUSAND AND FOURTEEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No. 21951 of 2014 BETWEEN Masunuru Sobhanachalapathi Rao AND ... PETITIONER The State of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Principal Secretary (Department of Revenue), A.P. Secretariat Building, Hyderabad and others.
...RESPONDENTS The Court made the following:
ORDER:
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent Nos.1 and 2 and learned counsel for respondent No.3.
2. The order impugned in this writ petition is clearly appealable order and hence I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition, as it involves adjudication of disputed facts which can be more appropriately dealt with and examined by the appellate authority.
3. The writ petition is, therefore, disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to file an appeal against the impugned order before the appellate authority along with an application for condonation of delay, if any, and on filing such application, the appellate authority shall consider the same in the light of attending circumstances as well as the circumstance that the petitioner has impugned the order before this Court in this writ petition and examine the reasons for the delay and pass appropriate orders after hearing the parties, in accordance with law.
As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J August 4, 2014 LMV
