He succeeded to land to an extent of Ac.0.30 gts in survey No.1465 after death of his father. He approached second respondent, namely, the Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO), on 26.04.2006 for issuance of pattadar passbook (PPB) and filed an application in Form VI(A) under Section 4(1) of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land & Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (the Act, for brevity) read with Rule 18 of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land & Pattadar Pass Books Rules, 1989 (the Rules, for brevity). Alleging that MRO did not initiate any enquiry as required under the Act and the Rules, the petitioner is before this Court seeking a direction to MRO to incorporate his (petitioner) name in PPB and revenue records. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) does not dispute that the application is still pending. As the matter is pending for almost ten months before MRO, it would be in the interests of justice to direct MRO to conduct enquiry and pass appropriate orders within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 13th March, 2007 Note: Issue CC in one week. B/o ghn
