RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 5796 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning the action of the respondent in not considering the applications of the petitioners for change of their names in patta pass books and title deeds as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the first petitioner is that her husband Mr.Venkata Subbaiah, is absolute owner and possessor of land admeasuring Ac.1.00 in survey No. 306-1, Ac.2.22 in Survey NO. 671, Ac.3.44 in survey No. 708, Ac.0.23 in survey no. 446, Ac. 3.61 in survey no. 806 and Ac.200 in survey No. 806-P, having acquired the same through a will dated 20.11.1970 and his name is also mutated in the revenue records and he was also issued with patta pass books and title deeds. That due to old age and to settle the properties, her husband executed registered gift deed dated 26.10.2007 bequeathing the land admeasuring Ac.1.00 in survey No. 306-1, Ac.2.22 in Survey NO. 671, Ac.3.44 in survey No. 708, and Ac.0.23 in survey no. 446 in favour of first petitioner and land admeasuring Ac.2.00 in survey No. 806-P in favour of 2nd petitioner and land admeasuring Ac.3.61 in Survey No. 806 in favour of 3rd petitioner. Thereafter, the petitioners made application dated 22.2.2008 together with Xerox copies of gift deed, for making necessary changes in the revenue records i.e., patta pass books and title deed books and since no further action is taken, filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. Both counsel agreed for disposal of the writ petition at the admission stage. Admittedly, the petitioners have made an application for change of their names in the patta pass books and title deeds only on 22.2.2008 and it would be too premature to say that the respondent is not going to act upon the same in accordance with law. Further, the petitioner has only submitted Xerox copies of the gift deed along with their applications and without verifying the original documents, the respondent cannot act and take further action in the matter. In the circumstances, the petitioners are directed to appear before the respondent along with original documents and on such production of the original documents, the respondent is directed to take into consideration the said documents and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________ N.V.RAMANA,J DATE: 18.3.2008 TVK ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V.
