It is the case of the petitioner that he was issued the patta on 18.08.1997. At the time of issue of the patta certificate the photograph of wrong persons was affixed. Therefore, petitioner approached the respondents on 02.02.2008 for rectifying the same, in vain. He filed a writ petition, being W.P.No.1481 of 2008. The same was, however, dismissed on 31.01.2008 as withdrawn. Petitioner again filed another writ petition, being W.P.No.8044 of 2008, which was also dismissed as withdrawn on 15.04.2008. Thereafter, petitioner allegedly pursued the matter with the respondents, and as there was no response, he filed the instant writ petition. The petitioner filed W.P.Nos.1481 and 8044 of 2008 for similar reliefs. These writ petitions were dismissed as withdrawn. Yet again the petitioner filed the instant writ petition, which in the considered opinion of this Court, is not proper. The petitioner may pursue the remedy with respondent No.3, who may consider and pass appropriate orders in the representation of the petitioner. The Writ Petition, with the above observations, is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 10.12.2008 vs To 1. The District Collector, Karimnagar District. 2.
