THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17103 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioners seek a mandamus directing the respondents to restore their names as pattadars and possessors in the revenue records in respect of the land of an extent of Ac.1.39 guntas covered by Survey No.74 of Goreddipet Village, Peddapalli Mandal, Karimnagar District. Petitioners refer to an application submitted by them to the fourth respondent on 21.10.1991. It is stated that a representation was also made by them to the third respondent, but no steps have been taken. The entries in the record of rights are governed by the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’) and the Rules made thereunder. The petitioners claim that it is a patta land. But, subsequently, it was recorded as Government land. In such case, it is for the petitioners to approach the competent authority seeking correction of revenue records by way of an application. Thereupon, the competent authority should pass orders as per the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder. But, based on the representation alleged to have been submitted by the petitioners before the fourth respondent in the year 1991, they cannot seek any direction by way of mandamus to restore their names as pattadars and possessors in the revenue records in respect of the land in question. For the aforesaid reason, the writ petition is dismissed keeping open to the petitioners to approach the competent authority by submitting an application afresh seeking correction of entries in the revenue records in respect of the land of an extent of Ac.1.39 guntas covered by Survey No.74 of Goreddipet Village, Peddapalli Mandal, Karimnagar District. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 19th JULY, 2010. kvni
