2 In all the lour writ petitions, petitioner is the same and the tssue involved in the writ pctitions being the same, they disposed of by this common order.

¶191

In W.P.Nos.13504 and 13537 of 2020, petitioner challenged two orders of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kandukur Division, dated 22,06.2020 in the appeals preferred against the decision of the Tahsildar, Saroornagar, dated 24.03.2018 granting mutation in favour of unoflicial respondents. ln W.I).Nos. 16655 and 16666 of 2021, petitioner is assailing the orders of the Special Tribunal dated 08.02.202 I in two revisions prelerred under Section 9 of the Telangana Rights in Land and [)attadar Passbooks Act, 1971 (the Act 26 of 1971) challenging the dccision of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kandukur Division, dated 22.06.2020. The two revisions were placed before the Special Tribunal constituted under Section 16 of the Act 9 ol^'2o'2a.

¶195

On account of^{the subsequent developmenLsn the litigation} culminating in^{the finalorderspassedby the Spet:ial Tribunal in} the revisions^{preferred under Section 9 of Act 26 of 1971' cause in} these two writ^{petitlons does not survivefor furthel consideration'} W.P.Nos. 13504 and 13537^{of 2O2Oare accordingly <lismissed.}

¶196

In W.P.Nos. 16655 and 16666 ol^{2021,learloedcounsel for} the petitioner contends that the order of the revisional authority^is not sustainable on the solc ground that when c.vil litigation is pending, the revenue authorities cannot decidt: the inter se disputes. In support of the said contention, learrred counsel for the petitionci placed reliance on the decision ol this Court in W.P.No.16922 of 2002, date<l 31.12.2OO2.

¶197

Shorn of details, to the extent relevant, frcts on record disclose that based on a General Power ol Attorne', sale deed was executed in favour ol Sabrha Khatoon and others.^'lhe said sale deed was challenged in O.S.No.654 of 2075 in the Court of Principal Junior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.

¶202

¶203

Thus, there is a registered sale deed standing in the name of unofficial respondents or their predecessor in interest, which is the subject matter of O.S.No.654 of 2015. As fairly submitted by learned counsel for petitioner Sri G.L. Narsimha Ra,t, based on the decree in O.S.No.654 oi 2015, petitioner's name vras mutated in the revenue records. The said decree was subseqrrently set aside and the suil is restored. Once the basis of mutation goes on account of setting aside the ex parte decree and the suit is pending trial, the order of the Tahsildar granting mutation s also no more valid. in view thereof, I do not see any error in the decision of the Revenue Divisional Olficer in setting aside the order of the Tahsildar as affirmed by the Special Tribunal. Ihus, the writ petitions deserve to be dismissed.

¶204

10, W.P.Nos. 16655 and 16666 of 2O2I are accordingly dismissed. However, it is needless to obser.ve that since O.S.Nos.654 of 2015 and 446 ol 2Ol9 are pending, where the subject property is in issue, it is open to the petitioner to apply to the Tahsildar for change of the entries in the revcnue records, if she succeeds before the trial Court.

¶205

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed.
