Ramachandraswami Varu Of … vs Nagoboyina Koteswara Rao And Ors. on 4 October, 1972<\/div>\n
Bench: R Rao<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/pre>\n
ORDER<\/p>\n
 1. In this Revision Petition a short question arises as to the interpretation  of  Section 13 of the  Andhra Pradesh  ( Andhra  Area )  Inams ( Abolition  and Conversion  into  Ryotwari )  Act of 1956 ( Act 37 of 1956 )  ( hereinafter called the  Act ) and  Rule 15 of the rules framed thereunder.\n<\/p>\n
  2.  The question arises on the following facts :  The Tahsildar, Tenali, issued a notice under  Rule 3 of the rules stating that he proposed suo moto to hold an enquiry under  Section 3 of the  Act for the purpose of determining  whether the land in  T. D. No. 904 in  Devarapalli  Agraharam,  Tenali Taluk,  Guntur  District, is an inam land, and if so, whether such inam land is in a ryotwari or Zamindari or inam village, and whether such inam land is held by any institution, and called upon all persons and institutions claiming interest in the said lands to file before him  statements of particulars within 15 days from the date of the publication of the notice.  Pursuant to the aforesaid  Notification, the petition herein  Sree  Sree  Ramachandra  Swami  Varu  of  Uttaradi  Mutt,  Samasthanam,  represented by the Head and Trustee  Sree  Satya  Pramoda  Thirtha  Swamulu  Varu,  represented by his power-of-attorney  Agent  Sri  Markapuram  Sreenivasa  Charyulu,  filed a statement stating that the said lands are inam lands situated in an inam village and held by the institution viz.,  Uttaradi Mutt.  He filed  another application under  Section 7 of the  Act for the grant of a ryotwari patta in favour of the said Mutt.  About 105 persons who were shown as petitioners Nos.  2 to 106 before the  Tahsildar, filed written statements claiming that the lands covered by the notices  are inam lands situated in an inam village, but not held by any institution and that they are held  by an individual viz., the Deity  Sree  Ramachandra  Swami  Varu  of  Uttaradi  Mutt.  The  Tahsildar,  Tenali, in  R. C. No. 1692\/1969 dated 25-8-1970 passed an order holding that the lands in question are inam lands, that they are situated in an inam village viz.,  Devarpally  Agraharam, and that the lands are not held by any  Institution.\n<\/p>\n
  3.  The  Uttaradi Mutt represented by its power-of-attorney  Agent preferred an appeal against the said order of the Tahsildar, before the  Revenue  Divisional  Officer  Tenali.  Along with the said appeal, the Mutt filed  an application praying that the respondents  Nos. 1 to 4 alone should be allowed to represent  the petitioners 2 to 106 shown as  petitioners in the enquiry in R. C. No. 1692\/69 before the  Tahsildar,  Tenali on the ground that the petitioners  2 to 106 are numerically large and that their contentions is the same.\n<\/p>\n
  4.  That application was opposed by the respondents Nos. 1 to 4 contending that the provisions of  Order 1,  Rule 8,  Civil Procedure Code are not applicable to appeals under the  Act and that  Rule 15 of the  Rules also could not be invoked for the purpose of suing the respondents in representative capacity.  It was further contended  that before the Tahsildar, all the persons, who were shown as petitioners Nos. 2 to 106, were not sued in representative capacity and that therefore they could not, for the first time, be sued in a representative capacity in the appeal and that as all the persons shown as petitioners are in possession  of different parcels of land, different questions will arise with respect to each individual and they could not, therefore, be sued in a representative capacity.\n<\/p>\n
  5.  The  Revenue  Divisional  Officer,  by order dated 14-6-1971, held that the provisions  of  Order 1,  Rule 8,  Civil Procedure Code did not apply to the appeals under the Inams  Abolition  Act  as  Section 13 of  the Act specified the matters in respect of which the Revenue  Courts could exercise powers of the Civil Courts  and that  Sec. 13 does not empower the  Revenue Courts to exercise powers under  Order  1,  Rule 8, Civil  Procedure  Code.  In that view  the  Revenue Divisional Officer dismissed the petition.  In the revision filed inder  Article 227 of the Constitution, it is contended by  Sri  Narasinga  Rao, the learned Counsel  for the petitioner that the Revenue  Divisional  Officer erred in holding that the provisions  of  Order 1,  Rule 8, Civil Procedure Code are not applicable to appeals filed under the Inams  Abolition  Act.  Section 3 provides as follows :–\n<\/p>\n
  “3  (1)  As soon as may be, after the commencement of this Act, the Tahsildar may suo moto and shall on application enquire and determine __ <\/p>\n
  (i)  Whether a particular land in his jurisdiction is an inam land ;\n<\/p>\n
  (ii)  Whether such inam land is held by any institution ;\n<\/p>\n
  (2)  Before holding such an enquiry, the Tahsildar shall cause to be published in the village or town where the inam lands are situate a notice in the prescribed  manner requiring every person or institution claiming an interest in any such inam land, to file before him, a statement of particulars in respect of items (i), (ii) and (iii) in sub-sec.  (1) within the prescribed time.\n<\/p>\n
  (3)  The  Tahsildar shall thereafter give the persons or institution concerned a reasonable opportunity of adducing any evidence in support of their cases, and may also examine any relevant document in the possession of the Government and give his decision in writing in regard to items (i), (ii) and  (iii) in sub-sec.  (1) and communicate the decision to the persons or institutions by registered post.\n<\/p>\n
  (4)  Any person or institution aggrieved by a decision of the Tahsildar under sub-section  (3), may appeal to the Revenue Court within sixty  days from the date of the communication of the decision by registered post and the  Revenue Court may after giving the parties to the appeal a reasonable opportunity of being heard, pass such orders  on the appeal as it thinks fit.\n<\/p>\n
  (5)  The decision of the Revenue  Court under  sub-section (4), and in case no appeal is filed, the decision of the Tahsildar under  sub-section (3) shall be final.\n<\/p>\n
  (6)  Every decision of the Revenue  Court under sub-section (4) and if no appeal is filed within the period specified in sub-section (4) every decision of the Tahsildar under sub-section (3) shall, as soon as possible, be published in the  District Gazette, and in such other manner as may be prescribed.\n<\/p>\n
  (7)  Every decision of the Revenue Court and subject to such decision, every decision of the Tahsildar under this section, shall be binding on all the persons and institutions claiming an interest in any such inam land, notwithstanding that such persons or institutions have not filed any application or statement, or adduced any evidence or participated in the proceedings before the Tahsildar or the Revenue Court, as the case may be. ”\n<\/p>\n
  6.  Section 4 provides for conversion of the inam land into ryotwari land and also declares or institutions entitled to the ryotwari patta.  Section 7 provides for the grant of ryotwari pattas.\n<\/p>\n
  7.  In the present proceedings I am concerned only with the enquiry under  Section 7.  Under  Section 3, before holding the enquiry, the  Tahsildar has to publish in the village or town where the inam lands are situate, a notice in the prescribed manner requiring every person or institution claiming an interest in any such inam land to file before him statement of particulars as mentioned therein.  The Tahsildar has then to give a reasonable opportunity to the persons or institutions concerned for adducing evidence in support of their claims and then give his decision in writing, with regard to each of the items (i), (ii) and (iii) mentioned in sub-section (1) and communicate the decision to the persons or institutions concerned.  Against the said decision, an appeal lies to the Revenue Court as provided in sub-section (4) of  Section 3.  These provisions clearly show that every person who claims to be interested  in any such inam land is entitled to file a statement before the Tahsildar and also adduce evidence in support of his claim and if aggrieved can also prefer an appeal.  Therefore sub-sections (2), (3) and (4) of  Sec. 3 clearly envisage that every person is entitled to individually  file a statement and adduce evidence.  This section, therefore, does not contemplate any person or persons being sued in a representative capacity.\n<\/p>\n
  8.  Section 13, on which the learned counsel for the petitioner relies, reads as follows :–\n<\/p>\n
  “13.  The Tahsildar, the Revenue Court and the Collector shall have the powers of a Civil Court trying a suit under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 ( Central  Act  V of 1908 ) in respect of the following matters namely ;\n<\/p>\n
 (a) summoning and enforcing the attendance of persons and examining them on oath ;\n<\/p>\n
  (b) requiring the discovery or production of documents ;\n<\/p>\n
  (c) receiving evidence on affidavits; and  <\/p>\n
  (d) issuing commissions for inspection of  lands and for examination of witnesses or documents. ”\n<\/p>\n
  9.  Section 13 only attracts the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure in respect of the matters enumerated therein.  The provisions of  Order 1,  Rule 8, Civil Procedure Code which empower a person to sue or defend on behalf  of all persons having the same interest are not covered by this Section.  Therefore, neither  Section 3 nor  Section 13 enables persons having the same or similar interest to sue in a representative capacity.\n<\/p>\n
  “15 (1)  All proceedings before the Tahsildar, the Revenue Court, or the Collector, under the  Act, shall be summary and shall be governed as far as may be, by the provisions  of Code of Civil Procedure.\n<\/p>\n
  (2)  In any proceedings before the Tahsildar, the Revenue Court, or the Collector, the Tahsildar,  Revenue Court or Collector, as the case may be, may permit any party to be represented by his agent or legal practitioner.\n<\/p>\n
  Provided that the Tahsildar, Revenue Court, or Collector at any stage of the proceedings, and for reasons to be recorded in writing, cancel such permission.”\n<\/p>\n
  10.  But even this rule does not attract all provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure to the proceedings before the Tahsildar, the Revenue Court and the Collector.  The  Act itself expressly made only some of the provisions of the Civil Procedure Code applicable to the enquiries before the Tahsildar, Revenue Court and the Collector.  Therefore there is no merit in the contention of the learned counsel that  Rule 15 attracts all the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure to the enquiries before the Tahsildar, Revenue Court and the Collector.  Therefore, on a reading of the provisions of  Section 3 and 13  and Rule 15  I am unable to accept the contention of the learned counsel that the provisions of  Order 1,  Rule 8, Civil Procedure Code are applicable  to enquiries before the Tahsildar and the Revenue Court under  Sec. 3 of the  Act.\n<\/p>\n
  11.  Further in the instant case all the persons claiming an interest had eonomine come on record before the Tahsildar and they claimed to be in possession of different parcels of land.  Therefore they are not sued in a representative capacity before the Tahsildar.  When they were already on record before the Tahsildar in their individual capacity, I  do not think that at the appellate stage they can be allowed to be sued in a representative capacity.  Further it does not appear whether their claims are the same or similar in respect of the land in the possession of each of the said persons.  On this ground also, the petitioner cannot be allowed to sue all the persons shown as petitioners 2 to 106 before the Tahsildar in a representative capacity.  In this view, I do not find any merit in this revision  petition.  It is therefore dismissed.  No costs.\n<\/p>\n
