According to the petitioners, after the demise of the said Padda Narasimha, they succeeded to the subject properties and have been in possession and enjoyment of the same in equal shares as absolute owners. The grievance of the petitioners is that they submitted a representation dated 20.05.2009 requesting the respondents to mutate their names as pattadars, possessors and enjoyers of the subject lands and to grant Pattadar Pass Books, title deeds, by updating the relevant registers and the Record of Rights, but till date the respondents have not responded thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to consider and dispose of the representation, dated 20.05.2009, purported to have been filed by the petitioners and pass appropriate orders as per law, after putting all the interested persons on notice and after considering their objections. This exercise shall be completed within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 03.07.2009 v v
