HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.26031 of 2006 Dated:29.12.2006 Between: Vepakomma Shankar Rao. …Petitioner and The Joint Collector and others. …Respondent HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.26031 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner is a resident of Potlapudi Village of Tota Palli Gudur Mandal in Nellore District. He alleges that his father, Vepakomma Ramaiah, filed an application for ryotwari patta under Section 11(a) of the Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1948, before the Assistant Settlement Officer, Nellore, and that the latter, after conducting enquiry, issued ryotwari patta vide S.No.129/11(a)/63/NLR, dated 05.01.1966. It is his case that after the death of his father he is in occupation and enjoyment of the property. Besides making number of applications, the petitioner allegedly approached the Mandal Revenue Officer, third respondent herein, on 04.01.2006 requesting for issue of pattadar pass books and title deeds, in vain. Therefore, the present Writ Petition is filed seeking a direction to the third respondent to issue pattadar pass books and title deeds. The matter was heard at preliminary stage on 15.12.2006 and was adjourned to enable the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General-A) to get instructions. Today after getting instructions, the learned Assistant Government Pleader submits that the patta submitted by the petitioner was verified and it was found that there is no corresponding record in relation to S.No.129/11(a)/63/NLR, and that the Assistant Settlement Officer never issued any such patta. He also submits that the pattas issued to other persons were verified by the respondents and it was found that the signature of the Assistant Settlement Officer is not tallying with the signature of the Officer who signed the patta granted to the petitioner. He, however, does not dispute that the Mandal Revenue Officer has not yet passed any order to that effect. Therefore, giving liberty to the Mandal Revenue Officer to pass appropriate orders within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, the Writ Petition is disposed of, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 29.12.2006 vs
