THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 10976 OF 2011 O R D E R: On 28.03.2011, the writ petitioner seems to have filed an application with the 3rd respondent Tahasildar, Kanigiri Mandal, Prakasam District seeking mutation of her name in the record of rights, in respect of certain agricultural lands said to have been purchased by her on various dates. In terms of Section 5 of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, the Tahasildar is required to attend to it and complete the exercise. Hardly any time has been allowed to the Tahasildar to react to this application. However, since the 3rd respondent is the competent authority under the 1971 Act, in terms of Section 5 thereof, he is directed to conduct the necessary enquiry and dispose of the application of the writ petitioner, dated 28.03.2011, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With this, the Writ Petition stands disposed of at the admission stage. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 20th April 2011 ksld
