The case of the petitioner is that his father, Dr.Gattu Bharat Reddy was a freedom fighter and he participated in the freedom movement during British rule. Thereupon the Government decided to allot land to the political sufferers under AP Board Standing Orders and accordingly allotted Acs:10-00 dry land at Kukatpally village, Hyderabad West taluk under AP Board Orders. Accordingly, the Tahsildar, Hyderabad West issued written permission on 23-11-1961 to take possession of the land in sy.no.972/AA in an extent of Acs:10-00 and to pay a cist of Rs.10/-. Thereafter, his father paid the cist and accordingly in the year 1968 the Tahsildar incorporated in the village records of Kukatpally village and pahani patrika was issued by changing the classification of land from Poramboke to patta land and thereafter issued certificate L.DIS.No.C1/436/1973 stating that no arrears are outstanding against his father, G.Bharat Reddy, who became pattedar of the said extent of land. Further the Tahsildar also issued Proceedings dated 21-11-1961 passed in D.Dis.No.A6/12620 of 1968 and also encumbrance certificate was issued by the Joint Sub-Registrar, Rangareddy district dated 17-3-2005. All these documents would establish that his father was in possession of the said land. Now the father of the petitioner, Mr.G.Bharat Reddy died on 14-7-2005 and thereupon the petitioner and his brother being the sons and legal heirs of the deceased, Bharat Reddy made a representation to the first respondent on 25-3-2005 seeking to issue no objection certificate and incorporate their names in the village accounts of Kukatpally in respect of survey no.972/AA in an extent of Acs:10-00 situate at Kukatpally village, Rangareddy district, Hyderabad but no action is taken on the said representation of the petitioner. Considering the facts and circumstances, without going into the merits or otherwise, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition at the admission stage directing the first respondent to dispose of the representation dated 25-3-2005 submitted by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders on merits and in accordance with law within six months from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. No costs. JULY 27th, 2005. -------------------------------- I S L. ELIPE DHARMA RAO, J. To 1. The Dist.
