After the death of the said Subbaiah on 26.4.1999, the registered will came into operation and the petitioner came into possession of the said property. Thereafter, he made several representations to the respondent Tahsildar, Bhadrachalam Village and Mandal for mutation of his name in the revenue records in respect of the said property. He has also made an application under Section 5 of the A.P.Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act (for short ‘the Act’) to incorporate his name and for issuing ryot pass book and title deeds in his favour. The grievance of the petitioner is that so far the respondent has not taken any action on his representation. Hence he ﬁled the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the writ petition is taken up for ﬁnal disposal at the admission stage itself. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue submits that since the petitioner has already made application under Section 5 of the Act to the respondent on 20.5.2008 seeking incorporation of his name in the revenue records, instead of this Court going into the merits of the matter, the respondent may be directed to dispose of the representation of the petitioner, for which course of action, the petitioner has also agreed. In the circumstances, the respondent –Tahsildar, Bhadrachalam Village and Mandal, Khammam District is directed to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner dated 20.5.2008 expeditiously. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. N.V.RAMANA,J DT.03.11.2008 msv
