THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION NO : 2265 of 2006 DATED: 07-02-2006 Smt.K.Eswaramma & another. ..... PETITIONERS AND The District Collector, Srikakulam District, Srikakulam & 2 others. .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. 2. It is stated that an extent of Ac.1.75 cents of land situated in S.No.372/2 of Satyavaram village, Narasannapet Mandal, Srikakulam District, was originally purchased by one Smt.B.Venkataratnam by way of a registered sale deed No.413/1959. The said Venkataratnam had only one daughter, Smt.Raudamma. The said Raudamma has got three daughters and one son. Petitioners herein are the daughters of the said Raudamma and the said Raudamma executed a registered settlement deed bearing Document No.2549/1980 settling the said property in favour of the petitioners herein. Petitioners are in possession and occupation of the said agricultural land and as they wanted to raise certain loan they approached the bank officials, who insisted upon production of the pattadar passbooks. Therefore the petitioners made representations dated 24-02-2005 and 14-10-2005 before the Mandal Revenue Officer-3rd respondent for issuance of title deed and pattadar pass books under Section 6 of the A.P.(Rights in Land) and Pattadar Passbook Act, 26 of 1971, but the said application has not been considered and disposed of. Aggrieved thereby the petitioners approached this Court by way of filing the present Writ Petition. 3. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that whenever an application is filed for mutation of the names in the revenue records by the persons entitled to hold the title it is for the concerned Mandal Revenue Officer to consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law. Therefore, the 3rd respondent is directed to consider and dispose of the said application of the petitioners in accordance with law after giving reasonable opportunity to all the concerned within eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. ___________________ (V.ESWARAIAH,J) 7th February, 2006. Tsy
