Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The case of the petitioners is that their fore father viz., Golikar Veeraiah purchased the land in question from the Government after paying the requisite market value during the year 1930 and thereafter, the Government had granted patta in his favour and his name was also entered in Jamabandi (accounts) through file No.120/11 of 1340 fasli (out ward No.1142) and ever since the said land was in possession and enjoyment of the said Veeraiah, and thereafter, his son Pentaiah, father of the petitioners and after Pentaiah, the petitioners are in exclusive possession of the same. It is also stated that the District Collector, Hyderabad issued a notice dated 2.9.1981 in the daily news papers directing 34 persons to appear before them and to produce relevant documents for issuance of the pattadar pass books and title deeds and the petitioners being the legal heirs of the persons mentioned in the said notices put up their claims and produced the documents in their custody such as assessment order, title document, receipts of the Revenue sist and other documents. It is stated that the name of the grandfather of the petitioners G. Veeraiah was at Serial No.20 against Survey No.129/97. The petitioners have also made various representations including the final representation dated 17.12.2005 along with Form No.VI(A) seeking regularization of the possession of the petitioners duly entering their names in all the revenue records and to issue pattadar pass books and title deeds. But, the District Collector has not considered nor disposed of the same. In view of the fact that the representations including the latest representation bearing Ref:SS/REG/05, dated 17.12.2005, are pending consideration before the 1st respondent, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I feel it appropriate to direct the 1st respondent to dispose of the same in accordance with law. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioners bearing Ref:SS/REG/05, dated 17.12.2005 and pass appropriate orders after giving reasonable opportunity to the petitioners in accordance with law, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order. No order as to costs. _______________ V.ESWARAIAH.J Dt. 14.03.2006 Nn.
