RAMANA Writ Petition No. 6560 of 2008 Order: The petitioners state that their father purchased lands admeasuring Ac. 5.14 guntas in Survey No.150/A, and Ac.3.14 guntas in Survey No. 150/AA, situated at Pulapally, Nawabpet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, under registered sale deeds dated 27.04.1996 and 30.04.1996 in their names from respondent No.3, and since then they have been in possession and enjoyment of the same. The case of the petitioners is that subsequently they made a representation dated 27.12.2007 requesting the 1st respondent-District Collector to incorporate their names in the revenue records in respect of the said lands and to issue pattadar passbooks and title deeds, and the 3rd respondent also addressed a letter to the Sub-Collector, Rangareddy District stating that the petitioners have purchased the lands in question and paid the excise arrears. The grievance of the petitioners is that despite sending report by the 3rd respondent and their making representation, the 1st respondent is not acting upon. Hence, they filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue submits that if the petitioners want to incorporate their names in the revenue records, they have to make proper application to the Tahsildar concerned, under Section 5(3) of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 (for short ‘ROR Act’), for which learned counsel for the petitioners also agreed. In that view of the matter, instead of keeping the writ petition pending, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same at the stage of admission with the following directions: The petitioners are directed to make proper application to the Tahsildar concerned, under Section 5(3) of the ROR Act, for incorporation of their names in the revenue records in respect of the above said property, and on filing such application, the Tahsildar concerned shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 27.03.2008 Ksr/Nsr .....
