THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA W.P. No.32653 of 1997 ORDER: The present writ petition is filed seeking writ of Mandamus calling for the Roc.D12/899/93 dated 06-07-1995 of the 1st respondent and other connected records and to direct the 1st and 2nd respondents to grant Ryotwari Patta to the petitioner’s lands set out in the schedule annexed. Brief facts of the case of the petitioner are that he is the perpetual grantee of the schedule lands including the land of Chittoor Cooperative Sugar Mills, having acquired the same as a descendent of the Carnatic Royal Family by the then British Government in the name of the original grantees namely Nawab Shurfool Omara Bhadur and Mumtazul Omara Bahadur and now the petitioner is the direct descendent of the said family. The petitioner further stated in the affidavit, filed in support of the petition, that he applied to the Government for grant of Ryotwari Patta. Further, it is also stated that he is entitled to get benefit of the rights conferred under the Andhra Pradesh Inam Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari Act, 1956. Further, without informing the petitioner about his rights over the lands in question, the Chittoor Cooperative Sugar Mills, 4th respondent, constructed the said Sugar Mills and they did not obtain any permission from the Government nor the Government has taken over the said lands under the Land Acquisition Act. In that view of the matter, the 4th respondent trespassed into the lands in question and for which the petitioner is entitled to get rental income for all these years. The petitioner is trying to get necessary orders in the matter of obtaining Ryotwari Ptta and so far no patta has been granted to him since 1971. According to the petitioner, vide Memo dated 17-06-1995 the 3rd respondent, Joint Secretary to Government, Revenue (LA) Department, informed the petitioner that his original representation dated 23-05-1995 was forwarded to the 1st respondent, Collector, Chittoor, for necessary action. In turn, the 1st respondent addressed a letter dated 06-07-1995, to the 2nd respondent, Mandal Revenue Officer, requesting him to enquire into the matter and send the report. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. The main grievance of the petitioner is that the authorities concerned are not disposing of the representation submitted by him. Admittedly, letter dated 06-07-1995 was addressed by the 1st respondent, Chittoor District Collector, to the 2nd respondent, Mandal Revenue Officer, Chittoor to enquire into the matter and send the report. This Court, on 22-12-1997, while issuing “Rule nisi”, was not inclined to pass any interim order. In view of the same, this Court is of the view that the prayer as sought for in the instant writ petition cannot be granted, at this length of time. However, it is suffice to direct the respondent authorities concerned to take action at their end within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ___________________________________ JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA Date: 12-02-2007 LSK
