It is stated that he made an application before the third respondent on 16-7-2004 along with the copies of all the relevant documents requesting to enter his name in the Revenue Records and also to issue pattedar pass book and title deed in his favour. Since there was no response, the petitioner has again addressed reminders dated 24-08-2004 and 28-10-2004 to the third respondent. He also addressed letters, dated 31-12-2004 and 20-02-2005 to the 2nd respondent – Revenue Divisional Officer requesting to direct the third respondent to take the necessary steps. However, both the respondents 2 and 3 failed to take any action. Hence, this writ petition seeking a direction to the third respondent to mutate his name in the Record of Rights in respect of the land in question. I have heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents and perused the material on record. The learned Government Pleader states that the third respondent – Mandal Revenue Officer is the competent authority and since the application is pending with him, he will take the necessary action in terms of the provisions of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the third respondent – Mandal Revenue Officer to consider the application of the petitioner dated 16-07- 2004 for mutation of his name in the revenue records and to take the necessary action in accordance with law following the due procedure as prescribed under the provisions of the Act as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order.
