The petitioner claims to be the owner of the premises bearing No.5-9-29 and 5-9-29/1, Basheerbagh, Hyderabad. It appears that there were some civil disputes between the petitioner and one Mohd. Muneeruddin in respect of the said premises. Since the name of the said Mohd. Muneeruddin was recorded in the Municipal records in respect of the said premises, the petitioner made an application dated 02.06.2006 seeking mutation of his name in the place of the said Mohd. Muneeruddin. Pursuant to the said representation, the 2nd respondent-Deputy Commissioner, Circle-VI, Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad, by means of notice in Lr.No.1806/TC6/C3/MCH/2006/276, dated 27.07.2006 called upon the petitioner to submit the relevant documents along with the notice prescribed under Section 28 of Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955 for taking further steps in the matter. Pursuant to the said notice, through the representation dated 05.10.2006, the petitioner has submitted the relevant documents as required by the respondents. Since no action has been taken on such representation for mutation of his name, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition for the aforesaid relief. 3. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as Sri C. Damodar Reddy, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents. 4. From the above facts, it could be seen that on the representation dated 02.06.2006 made by the petitioner seeking mutation of his name, through notice dated 27.07.2006 issued by the 2nd respondent, he was called upon to submit certain documents and the same were furnished by the petitioner through representation dated 05.10.2006. Though considerable time has elapsed eversince the petitioner sought for mutation of his name in respect of the aforesaid premises, no action has been taken so far. Be it noted that it is incumbent on the authorities to act upon such representation and pass appropriate orders, if not immediately, atleast within a reasonable time, which the respondents failed to do so. 5. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondent Nos.1 and 2 to consider the representation dated 02.06.2006 and further representation dated 05.10.2006 made by the petitioner in response to the notice in Lr.No.1806/TC6/C3/MCH/2006/276, dated 27.07.2006 issued by the 2nd respondent, and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as early as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
