Heard the learned counsel for petitioners, learned Government Pleader for Revenue, appearing for respondents 1 and 2 and Smt.K.N.Vijaya Lakshmi, learned counsel appearing for the 6th respondent. It is the grievance of the petitioners that they have filed an application for grant of pattadar passbook in respect of certain lands and the Mandal Revenue officer has not passed any orders on their application and thus, they approached this Court by invoking the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Learned counsel appearing for the sixth respondent submits that some of the lands have been sold after the family settlement between the parties. She further submits that in respect of other properties, a suit in O.S.No.212 of 2000, is pending on the file of the I Additional District-cum-Sessions Judge, Ranga Reddy District. The relief sought for in this writ petition is a direction to the Mandal Revenue Officer to conduct an enquiry on the application submitted by the petitioners for grant of pattadars passbook. In the enquiry, both the parties are at liberty to place all the material on record in support of their respective pleas. It is suffice to say that the application filed by the petitioners before the Mandal Revenue Officer is to be decided in accordance with law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of giving a direction to the Mandal Revenue Officer, Qutubullahpur Mandal-second respondent, to dispose of the application filed by the petitioners in accordance with law within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. ___________ 05.09.2005 sh
