Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.R.PAVAN REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE COMMON ORDER: These three writ petitions are ﬁled by the petitioners seeking issuance of pattadar passbooks by the 2nd respondent - Mandal Revenue Oﬃcer, Mahabubnagar pursuant to the orders passed by the 4th respondent – Boodhan Yagna Board. It is the case of the petitioners that they being landless poor persons, applied for granting of land to the 4th respondent, who after enquiry, granted agricultural lands in an extent of Ac.3.03 guntas in Sy.No.91 situated at Undyala Village, Chinna Cintakunta Mandal, Mahabubnagar District to each of the petitioners herein vide proceedings dated 12.12.2006 and also marked a copy of the said order to the 2nd respondent with a request to prescribe the conditions as per Section 9 of the Act to issue pattas as required under Section 11 of the Act and to include the same in the village registers as prescribed under Section 9(13) of the Act. The grievance of the petitioners is that so far no action has been taken pursuant to the orders passed by the 4th respondent on 12.12.2006 even though they requested the 2nd respondent on 19.11.2007 to issue pattas. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the writ petitions are taken up for ﬁnal disposal at the admission stage itself. On instructions the learned Government Pleader submits that pursuant to the orders dated 12.12.2006 passed by the 4th respondent, the Tahsildar has conducted an enquiry and on 8.8.2007 itself, has sent a report to the Collector stating that the petitioners are not entitled for assignment of land as all of them are rich having large extents of lands and, therefore, the orders passed by the 4th respondent on 12.12.2006 are required to be cancelled. It is stated that so far no orders are passed by the Collector pursuant to the said report sent by the Tahsildar and, therefore, the request of the petitioners for grant of pattas could not be considered. In view of the above, the 2nd respondent - Tahsildar is directed to dispose of the representation of the petitioners after necessary orders are issued by the Collector pursuant to the report submitted by him and intimate the same to the petitioners. With the above direction, the writ petitions are disposed of. N.V.RAMANA,J DT.29.9.2008 msv
