It is stated that she submitted an application on 03-12-2002 together with the copies of the required documents requesting the second respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, Tiruvuru Mandal, to issue the pattadar pass book. It appears that in pursuance of the said application, since there was no response from the second respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, she submitted a representation to the first respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, in pursuance of which the first respondent by proceedings dated 25-06-2004 directed the second respondent to look into the matter personally and take appropriate action following the due process of law. The only grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of the directions by the first respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, the second respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer failed to consider her request for issuing the pattadar pass book and no orders have been passed, so far. Hence, this writ petition. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent- Mandal Revenue Officer to consider the application of the petitioner dated 03-12- 2002 and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ____________ G. ROHINI, J Dated: 01-03-2005 Note: Furnish C.C. in three days. B/o.
