THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No :1699 of 2008 DATED:01-02-2008 BETWEEN: Dadi Narayana Swamy. ..... PETITIONER AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep., by the District Collector, Visakhapatnam District & 2 others. .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. 2. Petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the 3rd respondent in not considering the representation of the petitioner, dated 30-11-2007, for grant of pattadar pass book and title deeds, as illegal, and arbitrary. 3. It is the case of the petitioner that his grand father, namely Budda Apparao Naidu, filed an application under Section 11(a) of the Estate Abolition Act (for brevity, ‘the Act’) claiming the ryotwari patta in respect of the land in Sy.No.1/4, 15, 5, 6, 7 and 9 situated at Venkatapatirajupeta village, Gajuvaka mandal, Visakhapatnam District as the said village was taken over under the Act on 07-01- 1959. It is stated that the said application was allowed on 27-05- 1986 against which the then Mandal Revenue Officer, Gajuvaka filed an appeal before the Director of Settlement and pending appeal the said Apparao died and therefore the petitioner herein and five others came on record as legal heirs and thereafter the order of the Settlement Officer was confirmed on 22-04-1995. The said orders were also upheld by this Court as well as by the Apex Court in Special Leave Petition at the instance of the respondents. 4. I am not inclined to express any opinion with regard to the merits of the case, but however as the petitioner filed a written representation on 30-11-2007 seeking grant of pattadar pass book and title deed, and if the grant of ryotwari patta under the Act has become final, 3rd respondent is directed to conduct an enquiry and pass appropriate orders for issuance of pattadar passbooks and title deeds to the legal heirs of the ryotwari patta holder in accordance with law within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. Accordingly, Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ V.ESWARAIAH,J 01st February, 2008. Note: Furnish C.C. of the order Within three days. B/o Tsy
