Alleging that this application has not been enquired into, present writ petition is filed. Opposing the writ petition, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General-A) submits that the petitioner has not made application in Form VI-A under Rule 18 of Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Rules, 1989 (the Rules, for brevity), read with Section 4 of Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (the Act, for brevity) and, therefore, application would not be considered. This Court therefore holds that the inaction on the part of the Mandal Revenue Officer/Tahsildar cannot be faulted. If so advised, the petitioner may now approach the Mandal Revenue Officer and file application in Form VI-A under Rule 18(2) of the Rules read with Section 4 of the Act. The writ petition, subject to above observations, is dismissed. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) April 30, 2007. YS
