HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.14964 of 2005 Date: August 5, 2010 Between: Thadakamalla Sujatha, W/o. T. Raghu, R/o. Suryapet, Nalgonda District … Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Suryapet, Nalgonda District, and another … Respondents Order: Petitioner seeks a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not effecting mutation in revenue records in respect of Ac.13.30 guntas of land in Sy.Nos.78, 80 and 166 of Maktha Kothagudem village, Athmakur(S) Mandal, Nalgonda District, pursuant to final decree dated 19-02-1997 passed in O.S.No.48 of 1993 on the file of Senior Civil Judge, Suryapet, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that her father was in possession and enjoyment of Ac.27.20 guntas of land in Sy.Nos.166, 80 and 78 of Maktha Kothagudem village, Atmakur Mandal, Nalgonda District. It is stated that as the aforesaid lands are ancestral properties, she is is entitled for half share and accordingly she filed suit against her father, for partition and separate possession of half of the share, in O.S.No.48 of 1993 and final decree was also passed in the said suit, allotting ‘A’ portion property, i.e. Ac.13.30 guntas. It is stated that pursuant thereto, she filed E.P.No.8 of 2001 to put her in physical possession of the said portion of land. She has also submitted a representation dated 09-11-2000 requesting the second respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer to mutate her name in the revenue records with regard to the said land. It is the grievance of the petitioner that in spite of such representation, no action has been taken. Though the writ petition is of the year 2005, so far, no counter-affidavit is filed on behalf of the respondents. However, learned Government Pleader submits that as much as in the suit several claim petitions were filed, as such, no action could be taken. Under the provisions of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short 'the Act') and Rules made thereunder, namely, A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Rules, 1989, particularly under Rule 5(b)(1) of the said Rules, a statement in writing in duplicate in Form I-A showing the particulars of the lands in which interest is claimed has to be filed. However, even according to the petitioner, no statement was made by her, in the prescribed form, for amendment of record of rights; in the absence of which and also in the absence of any counter-affidavit, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition permitting the petitioner to make a statement/claim for change of record of rights in the prescribed form before the second respondent within six weeks from the date of receipt of this order. If any such statement/claim, in the prescribed form, is filed by the petitioner, the second respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders, within three months from the date of receipt of such statement/claim from the petitioner, by issuing notice to the petitioner and all the affected parties. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ___________________ (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) August 5, 2010 MRR
