THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 9484 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioners 1 and 2 purchased the land admeasuring Ac.34.78 cents and the 3rd petitioner an extent of Ac.39.09 cents in Survey No.13P of Tangudibilli Village, Anandapuram Mandal, Visakhapatnam District on 31.03.2008. Their vendors were granted ryotwari pattas under the Estates Abolition Act (for short ‘the Act’). The efforts made by the Government to challenge the pattas did not fructify and the matters assumed finality with an order dated 16.08.2000 passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in S.L.P.No.4557 of 2000. In the context of issuance of pattadar pass books, the vendors of the petitioners have approached various authorities. After examining the matter in detail, the Government in Revenue Department issued G.O.Ms.No.982, dated 12.07.2007 directing the Collector, Visakhapatnam to implement the pattas in respect of said lands granted under the Act. The grievance of the petitioners is that no action has been taken on G.O. so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents. There was a long standing dispute under the Act between the vendors of the petitioners on the one hand and the Government on the other. It assumed finality with the dismissal of S.L.P. filed by the Government. Taking the same into account, the Government issued G.O.Ms.No.982, directing that the pattas issued in favour of the vendors of the petitioners be implemented. Thereafter, the petitioners purchased the land. Issuance of pattadar pass books and title deeds and making of entries in the revenue records in respect of the land would go a very long way and avoid necessary disputes. Whatever may have been the justification for the respondents in delaying the steps under the A.P. Record of Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books act, in respect of the land till recently, the matter cannot be delayed any longer, in view of the orders passed by the Government in G.O.Ms.No.982. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondents 1 and 2 to take immediate steps for implementation of the orders in G.O.Ms.No.982 in favour of the petitioners duly issuing notices to their vendors and complete the steps within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 01.05.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 9484 of 2009 Date: 01.05.2009 JSU
