THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1152 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners were issued pattadar pass books on 30.08.2008 in respect of the land in Survey Nos.399 and 400/1 of Kapuluppada Village, Bheemunipatnam Mandal, Visakhapatnam District. The land is said to have been assigned in favour of the mother of the petitioners on an earlier occasion. The grievance of the petitioners is that the title deeds are not being issued. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue The Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 provides for issuance of pattadar pass books and title deeds in respect of the agricultural lands. Virtually, they are treated on par with each other and the enquiry is common for issuance of both of them. Once the petitioners were issued pattadar pass books, it is axiomatic that title deeds ought to have been issued. If for any reason, the title deeds could not be issued, the Tahsildar, the fourth respondent herein, ought to have communicated the reasons therefor. The denial of title deeds would have its own impact on the petitioners. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the fourth respondent to consider the feasibility of issuance of title deeds in respect of the land in survey Nos.399 and 400/1 of Kapuluppada Village, Bheemunipatnam Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In case, it becomes not feasible for him to issue title deeds, he shall communicate the reasons therefor, within the same time. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:28.01.2009 kdl
