RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.2923 of 2008 ORDER: It is the case of the petitioner that one Sri Galla Gangaiah Naidu is his brother. It is stated that the land admeasuring Ac.1-52 cents in R.S.Nos.357- 5, 357-12 and 358-6 situated at Nellimanda Village, Somala Mandal, Chittoor District, belongs to joint family consisting of four brothers namely, Galla Gangaiah Naidu, Galla Bhaskar Naidu, Galla Ramalingam Naidu and late Galla Narasimhulu Naidu. Sri Galla Gangaiah Naidu, who was the Kartha of the Hindu joint family, applied for grant of patta in respect of the said land. The Assistant Settlement Officer, Chittoor-4th respondent passed an order under Section 11(a) of Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) Estates Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari Act, 1948 in proceedings No.S.R.5/1(a)/67 PGN, dated 26-06-1967, holding that claim made by Galla Gangaiah Naidu for grant of patta in respect of the land admeasuring Ac.1-52 cents in R.S.Nos.357-5, 357-12 and 358-6 situated at Nellimanda Village, Somala Mandal, Chittoor District, is genuine and accordingly, the patta has been granted in his favour. It is stated that said Galla Gangaiah Naidu died. Therefore, the petitioner made a representation, dated 11-02-2008, before the 1st respondent requesting to incorporate the names of the members of the joint family in respect of the land in question. I am not inclined to express any opinion with regard to the said contentions as admittedly, as per the order of the 4th respondent, dated 26- 06-1967, the claim of Galla Gangaiah Naidu alone has been allowed. However, it is stated that the representation, dated 11-02-2008, has been pending before the 1st respondent. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner, dated 11-02-2008, if any received and pending, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 14-02-2008 Note: Issue C.C. by tomorrow (B/o) Prv
