Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.A.PRABHAKAR RAO Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : O R D E R:- This writ petition is ﬁled seeking a mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not issuing supplementary sethwar in petitioner’s favour on the basis of a report dated 3.1.2007 submitted by the 4th respondent-Assistant Director in respect of the land in S.Nos.638, 639, 642/2, 642/3, 643/4 situated at Mahabubabad village and Mandal, Warangal District, as arbitrary and illegal and consequently direct the respondents to implement the survey report and issue supplementary sethwar. The petitioner asserts that he is the absolute owner of the lands in an extent of Ac.7.25 and Ac.2.03 guntas in S.Nos.638 and 639 respectively situated in Mahabubabad village and Mandal, Warangal District and he is in possession and enjoyment of them. The 4th respondent surveyed the lands and demarcated the boundaries with reference to the revenue records and gave a report dated 3.1.2007 which indicates that the petitioner is in possession of the land in S.No.642 instead of S.Nos.638 and 639 as his lands covered under S.Nos.638 and 639 were submerged in the Nizam Cheruvu and the 3rd respondent-Tahsildar was directed to record the petitioner’s name in the revenue records in respect of the land in S.Nos.642/2, 642/3 and 642/4; and that the 4th respondent sent the report to the 3rd respondent-Tahsildar for its implementation and issuance of supplementary sethwar in favour of the petitioner, but the 3rd respondent has neither implemented the survey report nor issued the supplementary sethwar . Then, the petitioner submitted a representation, dated 20.7.2008 requesting the 2nd and 3rd respondents to implement the survey report and issue supplementary sethwar in his favour. Now, the petitioner’s grievance is that though he submitted his representation, dated 20.7.2008, which is now pending before the 1st respondent-District Collector, so far, it has not been considered nor appropriate orders have been passed thereon. Having heard Sri A.Prabhakar Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner, and as agreed to by the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The 1st respondent is hereby directed to consider the petitioner’s representation dated 20.7.2008 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________ N.V.RAMANA, J 17th October, 2008 bcj
