No. 12471 of 2008 O r d e r: The petitioner-party in person states that she was granted house site patta admeasuring 0.05 cents (Plot No.79) in Survey No.496/2 of Isnapur village, Patancheru Mandal, Medak District, by the 3rd respondent, namely the Mandal Revenue Officer, vide proceedings in Rc. No. 426/87, dated 23.01.1987. It is her case that though she was granted house site patta, in respect of the above mentioned land, as far back as on 23.01.1987, till date the house site was not handed over to her. Hence, she filed this writ petition seeking appropriate directions to the respondents to deliver possession of the land to her. Notice before admission was ordered on 17.06.2008, and thereafter, the matter was adjourned two times to enable the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue to get instructions. Today, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, on instructions, submitted that the patta granted to the petitioner is genuine and that it has not been cancelled so far. He, however, submitted that since the whereabouts of the petitioner are not known, the respondents have not handed over the physical possession of the house site to the petitioner. Now, that the petitioner is said to be residing in Patancheru, he submitted that the respondents are ready to hand over the physical possession of the house site to the petitioner. In view of the stand taken by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The petitioner is directed to approach the 3rd respondent, namely the Mandal Revenue Officer, Patancheru, Medak District, and on such approach, the 3rd respondent shall hand over physical possession of the land assigned to her on 23.01.1987 without any further delay. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Dated: 25.06.2008 KSR
