THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO Writ Petition No. 11854 of 2011 --- The writ petitioner complaining that the respondent – Tahsildar has not issued pattedar passbook and title deed for land possessed by the petitioner in Sy. No. 668/U, situated at Pamulaparti village, Revenue Code No. 100, Circle Durgal, Gajwel Taluq, Medak District filed this writ petition. When I queried the learned counsel for the petitioner to the date on which the writ petitioner has filed an application for issuance of the pattedar passbook, learned counsel furnishes the answer that he has issued two legal notices to the Tahsildar, Revenue Divisional Officer as well as the Collector for the said purpose and in spite of receipt of legal notices, the respondents have not issued the necessary pattedar passbook to the petitioner. By implication, this contention means that the legal notices issued by the learned counsel for the petitioner should be construed by the Tahsildar as an application under the Act for grant of pattedar passbook. I cannot construe a legal notice to be an application for the said purpose. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed. However, it is open to the petitioner to file an application before the competent authority in accordance with law for grant of pattedar passbook and as and when such an application is received by the Tahsildar, I am sure, the same will be dealt with in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a maximum period of six months from the date of receipt of such application. --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J knk 26th April 2011
