Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.VENKAT REDDY THIPPARTHI Counsel for the Respondent: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed stating that petitioners 1 to 6 and 8 are the joint owners and possessors of the agricultural land bearing Sy.No.117 admeasuring Ac.5.34 guntas situated at Sulthapally Village, Shamshabad Mandal, Ranga Reddy District having purchased he same through registered sale deed dated 29.5.2006 and since the date of purchase they are in possession and enjoyment of the said land. It is their case that they submitted an application in Form VI-A to the respondent and also paid requisite amount for the purpose of mutation of their names in the revenue records and also for issuance of pattadar pass books and title deeds but the respondent has not taken any steps to dispose of their application. Hence they filed this writ petition seeking a direction to the respondent to dispose of their application. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. It is submitted by the learned Government Pleader for Revenue that by proceedings dated 18.10.2006, the respondent herein has informed the petitioners that as per the revenue records of Sulthanpally Village, the land in Sy.No.117 is classified as ‘‘Biladakala” Government and, therefore, their request for mutation of their names in the revenue records in respect of the subject matter of land cannot be considered. In view of the above submission of the learned Government Pleader, the relief sought for by the petitioners cannot be granted. The writ petition is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. However, the petitioners are at liberty to challenge the order dated 18.10.2006 passed by the respondent. N.V.RAMANA,J Dt.08.08.2008 Msv .... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.
