Outcome

No substantive relief; leave to withdraw the writ petition accorded, interim order if any deemed vacated, no order as to costs, and pending interlocutory applications closed.

Issue for consideration

Whether respondents 1 to 4 (State of Andhra Pradesh, District Collector Guntur, and the Tahsildars of Amaravathi and Tadikonda Mandals) could be declared to have acted illegally and arbitrarily in failing to conduct the field-level survey and enquiry and demarcate the petitioner's land admeasuring Ac. 2-43 cents in Survey Nos. 256, 257 and 259/1 of Vykunthapuram Village, Amaravathi Mandal, as per Board Standing Orders 34-A, and whether the 3rd respondent could be directed to conduct the F-Line Survey on the petitioner's application dt. 11-07-2017 (No. DER011701063696), secure the said extent, and mutate the petitioner's name under the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971.

Ratio / Principle

On the learned counsel for the petitioner seeking permission to withdraw the writ petition (court slip dated 02.09.2025), the Court accorded permission, dismissed the Writ Petition as withdrawn, deemed the interim order, if any, vacated, ordered no costs, and closed pending interlocutory applications as a sequel. No issue on the merits of the survey/demarcation/mutation grievance was decided.

Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Writ Petition No. 4034 of 2021 (High Court of Andhra Pradesh at Amaravati, B Krishna Mohan, J.) — Dismissed as withdrawn on 03-09-2025. The petitioner, Chadalavada Padma, had prayed under Article 226 read with Articles 19(1)(g), 21 and 300-A of the Constitution for a writ of mandamus declaring illegal and arbitrary the inaction of respondents 1 to 4 (State of Andhra Pradesh, District Collector, Guntur, and the Tahsildars of Amaravathi and Tadikonda Mandals) in conducting the field-level survey and enquiry and demarcating her land admeasuring Ac. 2-43 cents in Survey Nos. 256, 257 and 259/1 of Vykunthapuram Village, Amaravathi Mandal, Guntur District, as per Board Standing Orders 34-A, and for a direction to the 3rd respondent to conduct the F-Line Survey on her application No. DER011701063696 dt. 11-07-2017, secure the said extent and mutate her name under the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971. An interim order dt. 22-02-2021 in IA 1/2021 had restrained dispossession of the petitioner; respondents sought its vacation through IA 2/2021 under Section 151 CPC. Before adjudication of any issue, the petitioner's counsel sought leave to withdraw (court slip dt. 02.09.2025); permission was accorded, the writ petition was dismissed as withdrawn, the interim order, if any, was deemed vacated, there was no order as to costs, and pending interlocutory applications stood closed. The judgment carries no ruling on the survey, demarcation or mutation grievance and has no precedential value on those questions.
