THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1258 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner states that his father, by name Laxmaiah, held an extent of Acs.6.13 guntas of land in Survey No.432 of Elikatta Village, Farooqnagar (Shadnagar) Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District and that he died in the year 1989. The petitioner and the other family members are said to have migrated to Hyderabad for livelihood. On finding that the name of one Sri Kanuparthi Babaiah was also included as pattadar of the land in the revenue records, the petitioner submitted a representation, dated 06.03.2009, to the respondent with a request to correct the entries by issuing notice to Babaiah. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. During the life time of the father of the petitioner, his name alone was entered as pattadar and possessor in respect of the land referred to above. However, after his death, the name of Sri Babaiah was entered as pattadar. The petitioner categorically states that neither himself nor his father have alienated the land in favour of anyone. The Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 imposes an obligation on the Recording Authority to issue notice to the persons in whose favour the entries exist before any alteration is made. Whatever may have been the circumstances, when the name of a third person was entered, at least, when the petitioner submitted representation on 06.03.2009, the respondent ought to have verified the matter. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to take necessary steps on the representation, dated 06.03.2009, made by the petitioner, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, duly issuing notice to the affected parties. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:28.01.2010 Note: Issue cc in one week. (B/o) kdl
