Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.SITA RAM CHAPARLA Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is ﬁled by the petitioners seeking a direction to the respondents to consider their representation dated 13.3.2006 and to eﬀect mutation of the entries in the revenue records in respect of the lands in S.Nos.335, 336, 338, 340, 341, 342 and 345 of Puppalaguda Village, Rajendranagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. It is the case of the petitioners that their father late Sri Vasudev Khemchand left Pakistan and settled down in Hyderabad in the year 1947 as a refugee. As their father was a Zamindar in Sindh, Pakistan, he made a representation to the Government of India to allot the land under Evacuee Rehabilitation Scheme and accordingly the government vide proceedings dated 11.3.1956 allotted the land in an extent of Ac.10.28 guntas, in S.No.335, Ac.16.37 guntas in Sy.No.335, Ac.16.28 guntas in Sy.No.338. Ac.18.03 guntas in Sy.No.340, Ac.11.27 guntas in Sy.No.342, Ac.10.29 guntas in Sy.No.342 and Ac.7.20 guntas in Sy.No.345 of Puppalaguda Village, Rajendranagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District and the land was demarcated and physical possession was delivered and since then he was in possession and enjoyment of the said land. Thereafter, during his lifetime, he made several representations to eﬀect mutation of entries in the revenue records in respect of the above said lands by showing his name as pattadar in respect of the said lands but no steps have been taken to make the corrections. On 27.4.1998 their father died leaving behind the petitioners herein as his legal heirs and successors. Thereafter they made several representations, one of such representation being dated 13.3.2006, seeking correction of the entries in the revenue records. The grievance of the petitioners is that so far no action has been taken on their representation. Hence this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the writ petition is taken up for final disposal. The respondents have ﬁled a counter aﬃdavit inter alia stating that on veriﬁcation of revenue records i.e., Sesala Pahani for the years 1955-58 of Puppalaguda Village it was found that the subject matter of lands are classiﬁed as Banjaru Polam Patta and in pattadar column it was recorded as ‘Custodian Sarkari’ and the pahanies for the years 1960-61 indicate that the said lands were allotted to Sri Vasudev Khemchand by the Regional Settlement Commissioner, Bombay and his name continued upto 1965-66 pahanies. Thereafter he sold the properties to various persons and various transactions took place and the names of purchasers are recorded after 1971-72 and hence Sri Vasudev Khemchand is not the possessor of the said lands. It is also stated that a memo was also issued vide Memo No.D/1706/2006 dated 18.6.2006 to the petitioners in this regard. In view of the above counter averments, no relief can be granted to the petitioners in this writ petition. The writ petition is liable to be dismissed and it is accordingly dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to challenge the memo dated 18.6.2006 in appropriate forum. No costs. N.V.RAMANA,J Dt.20.10.2008 msv
