It is stated that the matter was also referred to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Nizamabad, vide Proceedings of the Mandal Revenue Officer, Morthad, Nizamabad district, dated 21-4- 2005 in Lr.No.B/897/04 and the only reason for not issuing the patta certificates is that some claim was putforth by Smt.Laya and fifteen others stating that once upon a time they have also cultivated the same but in support of them, it is stated that they have not filed the documents. In view of the said facts and circumstances, the fourth respondent is directed to issue patta certificates in favour of the petitioners within four week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
