He filed an application before the Settlement Officer, Visakhapatnam under the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1948 (for short ‘the Act’). The Settlement Officer granted patta on 10.6.1974. Aggrieved by the same, the Tahsildar preferred revision before the Director of Settlements under Section 5(6) of the Act, who set aside the orders of the Settlement Officer and remanded the matter to him. Thereafter, the Settlement Officer passed orders on 30.4.1980 holding that the petitioner is not entitled to Ryotwari patta. The said order was confirmed by the Director of Settlements as well as the Commissioner, Survey and Land Records. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner and another persons filed writ petitions. The writ petition being W.P.No.15582 of 1984 filed by other claimants against the orders of the Commissioner dated 21.11.1983, was allowed by this Court directing that the claimants would be entitled to pattas to the extent of the pattas granted by the Zamindar. The writ petition filed by the petitioner being W.P.No.10271 of 1985 was also disposed of in terms of the orders passed in W.P.No.15582 of 1984. By reason of the said order, the petitioner is entitled for grant of patta. Therefore, the petitioner approached the third respondent for grant of pattadar passbook and title deed, in vain. Therefore, the present writ petition is filed. At the time of hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General) brought to the notice of this Court that in a similar writ petition being W.P.No.1305 of 2005 this Court by order dated 25.7.2005 disposed of the writ petition directing the Mandal Revenue Officer, Vajrapukotturu to consider the representations filed by the petitioners therein for issuance of pattadar passbooks. Following the same, this Writ Petition is also disposed of directing the third respondent herein to consider the representation/representations filed by the petitioner herein for grant of pattadar passbooks and pass appropriate orders within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of at the admission stage. ______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J.) 26th October, 2005 Js
