Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.M.PRASADA RAO Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: It is the case of the petitioner that his grandfather one Late Rajappa is having lands in various survey numbers to an extent of Ac.16.43 cents in Yerridikera Village, Bharam Samudaram. After his death, his grandmother’s name was mutated in the revenue records in respect of the said lands and pattadar passbooks and title deeds were also issued. While the matters stood thus, the adjacent land owners were entering into their lands and occupied certain portion on the ground that there is an agreement in their favour executed by his grandfather in the year 1975 and the same has been resisted by their family members and the same was also brought to the notice of respondents 1 and 2 but no action has been taken so far. It is also stated that their family members decided to partition the property and unless and until a proper demarcation is eﬀected on the ﬁeld, it is not possible to divide the property and, therefore, they made a representation to the respondents on 2.12.2007 to demarcate the land and also expressed their willingness to bear the expenses caused for such demarcation. The grievance of the petitioners is that though they made the representation on 2.12.2007, so far no action has been initiated by the authorities. Hence this writ petition Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the matter is taken up for ﬁnal disposal at the admission stage itself. The learned Government Pleader submits that since the petitioners have made the representation way back on 2.12.2007, the respondents may be directed to consider the same. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the matter, since the petitioner’s representation dated 2.12.2007 is pending before the 2nd respondent Tahsildar and the petitioner has also expressed his willingness to bear the expenses for the demarcation of the land, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner for demarcating the subject matter of lands and take necessary action in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _______________ N.V.RAMANA,J DATE: 7.8.2008 NOTE: Furnish CC in 3 days. (B/o) msv .....
