Hyderabad, July 20 : The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Monday expressed its displeasure over unilateral decisions taken by some tahsildars in the state.
Justice Goda Raghuram, while dealing with a petition filed by one Mr S. Raghava Rao and two others from Nuzvid in Krishna district, remarked: “Law is immaterial for the lawless, but it is not so for the rule-bound official. However, certain tahsildars in the state are blatantly violating the law.”
The petitioners complained to the court that the Nuzvid tahsildar acquired 2.25 acres of land belonging to them without any notice in 2007. The judge expressed his anger and said: “If the higher authorities take stringent action against such erring official, it will serve as a lesson for others to follow the law.”
The judge directed the revenue department to inform the court on what action will be taken against the tahsildar by July 27.
