The Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy Writ Petition No.19007 of 2010 Order: In this Writ Petition, the petitioners seek declaration, by way of Mandamus, that the action of the respondents, in not issuing copies of the pattadar passbooks and pahanis by mutating their names in the record of rights pursuant to their representations, dated 05-05-2009 and 13-07-2010, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioners that they have purchased certain extents of lands covered by survey No.195/2A of Kurnool Revenue Village and Mandal, Kurnool District, under different registered sale deeds. The particulars of registered sale deeds, as mentioned in the affidavit, are as under: Petitioner No.1 claims to have purchased Ac.0.22 cents and Ac.0-28 cents vide sale deed document Nos.5222/05 & 5937/05, dated 15-04-2005 and 27-04-2005, petitioner No.2 claims to have purchased Ac.0.26 cents and Ac.0.32 cents vide sale deed document Nos.5223/05 & 5935/05, dated 15-04-2005 and 27-04-2005, petitioner No.3 claims to have purchased Ac.0.12 cents and Ac.0.27 cents vide sale deed document Nos.5224/05 & 5936/05, dated 15-04-2005 and 27-04-2005, and petitioner No.4 claims to have purchased Ac.0.24 cents and Ac.0.27 cents vide sale deed document Nos.5221/05 & 5934/05, dated 15-04-2005 and 27-04-2005. It is the grievance of the petitioners that although they made representations to respondent No.2- Tahsildar, Kurnool Mandal, Kurnool District, to mutate their names in the revenue records as per the registered sale deeds and also to issue pattadar pass books, no mutation has so far been effected in the revenue records. The learned Counsel for the petitioners relied on mutation certificate, dated 22-07-2009, issued by respondent No.2- Tahsildar, Kurnool, wherein it has been stated that mutations in respect of the lands in question have been carried in the revenue records, and submitted that till date, no copies of records as sought by the petitioners have bee issued to them. On written instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents that with regard to the lands, stated to have been purchased by the petitioners, there were 11 legal heirs of the original owner but the petitioners have got registered the lands through only four of them and other legal heirs have raised a dispute, which is pending in the civil Court. It is further stated that as the matter is under enquiry, suitable endorsements will be made on the petitioners’ applications and after completion of the enquiry, appropriate decision will be communicated to them. When the petitioners are claiming mutation on the basis of registered sale deeds, the matter has to be enquired into under the provisions of the A.P.Record of Rights Act, 1971. Even according to the statement made by the learned Government Pleader, the petitioners’ applications, dated 05-05-2009 and 13-07-2010, are still pending consideration. In view of the same, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the respondents to complete the enquiry and communicate their decision to the petitioners as early as possible, preferably, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ R.Subhash Reddy, J Date: 13th August, 2010 lur
