IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE TWENTYFOURTH DAY OF MARCH TWO THOUSAND AND SIX P R E S E N T THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH * * * WP.No.5934 OF 2006 Between: Mohammed Akbar … Petitioner Versus The District Collector, Adilabad, Adilabad district. … Respondent Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.Safdar Mirza Counsel for the Respondents: GP for Revenue O R D E R : It is stated that the wife of the petitioner purchased the land in an extent of Ac:1-00 in survey no.199 situated at Manchiryal village and Mandal of Adilabad district for valuable sale consideration under unregistered sale deed in the year 1991. Thereafter, it is stated that the said unregistered sale deed is validated and she is the owner and possessor of the said property. It is stated that she has filed OS.No.1579 of 1991 on the file of the Court of District Munsif, Luxettipet, Adilabad district and the same was decreed on 31-12-1991. It is stated that she gave a representation before the Mandal Revenue Officer in the year 1992 seeking mutation of her name, and accordingly, the Mandal Revenue Officer, Manchriyal, issued R.O.R. certificate bearing No.ROR/MNCL/371/1989, dated 28-6-1994. Now it is stated that the wife of the petitioner died on 02-7-1999. Thereafter, the petitioner filed a representation on 28-5-2005 and 25-2-2006 respectively before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Manchriyal, Adilabad district seeking to mutate the land in the name of the wife of the petitioner and thereafter in the name of the petitioner. Without going into the merits or otherwise, I am not inclined to express any opinion with regard to the merits of the case. The petitioner states that ROR certificate was already issued vide Proceedings bearing No.ROR/MNCL/371/1989, dated 28-6- 1994 in favour his wife and again the petitioner requests to issue mutation proceedings in the name of his wife. I am of the opinion that even if his wife dies, the petitioner is legal heir and is entitled to seek mutation of his name in the revenue records. However, all these contentions were considered and disposed of by the Mandal Revenue Officer. Accordingly, the third respondent is directed to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner dated 25-2-2006 and pass appropriate orders, on merits and in accordance with law after considering all the objections of all the concerned, by issuing notice to the effected parties. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. No costs. MARCH 24th, 2006. ----------------------- I s L. V. ESWARAIAH , J.
