Counsel for the Petitioner: MR. A.V. SWAMY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: Aggrieved by the inaction of the respondents in not passing any orders on the representation of the petitioner, dated 02-02-2002, for issuance of pattadar pass books in favour of the petitioner in respect of the land admeasuring Acs.10.00 in Survey No.106 of Tatti Annaram Village, Hayathnagar Mandal, R.R. District, as illegal, arbitrary and violative of principles of natural justice, this writ petition is filed seeking direction to the respondents to issue pattadar pass books forthwith. The case of the petitioner is that his father late Meer Rahath Ali was cultivating the land admeasuring Ac. 10.00 cts in Sy.NO.106 of Thatti Annaram Village, Hayathnagar Mandal, Rangareddy District and paying the taxes to the authorities concerned and his father was expired on 07.01.2001 leaving behind the petitioner’s family. The main grievance of the petitioner is that he submitted the representation, dated 02.02.2002, to the 1st respondent and also sent the same to respondents 2 & 3 for issuance of pattadar pass book, but the revenue officials did not consider the same. It is submitted that the family members of the petitioner have been in continuous possession and enjoyment of the land in dispute by cultivating the same from the date of his forefathers, therefore he is entitled to grant pattadar pass book in his favour, but the respondents are not considering his representation, therefore he is suffering irreparable loss. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents to consider the representation, dated 02-02-2002, made by the petitioner, by giving a reasonable opportunity of being heard to the effected parties, and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicated the same to the petitioner within two weeks thereafter. ____________________ E.DHARMA RAO, J Date:08.07.2005 MRKR To 1 The District Collector R.R.District Lakdikapool Hyderabad. 2 The Revenue Divisional Officer Malakunta Gosha Mahal Hyderabad. 3 Mandal Revenue Officer Hayathnagar R.R.District. 4 Two C.Cs to the Government Pleader for Revenue, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad. 5 Two C.D.copies.
