RAO WRIT PETITION No.22611 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner along with Ashok Saraogi purchased land admeasuring Acs.3.20 in survey No.157 and Acs.0.30 guntas in survey No.158 from M/s.Comprehensive Rural Operations Service Society (CROSS) under registered sale deed dated 15.2.1989. They submitted an application on 03.11.2005 to the fourth respondent – the Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO), Choutuppal Mandal; under A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (the Act, for brevity) for grant of mutation and for issue of Pattadar Pass Books (PPBs)/title deeds. On 19.9.2006, the MRO sought necessary clarification from the first respondent citing the earlier letter dated 30.8.2005 issued by the District Collector instructing the MRO not to entertain any transaction in respect of the property of CROSS. The petitioners, therefore, filed the present writ petition seeking a direction to the fourth respondent to issue PPBs/title deeds duly making necessary alterations in the revenue records. There is no denial that the petitioners’ application is still pending. There is also no denial that the fourth respondent is awaiting necessary clarification from the first respondent in response to the letter of the fourth respondent to the first respondent. Therefore, instead of keeping the matter pending, as suggested by both the Counsel, the matter is disposed of, observing that the fourth respondent should conduct enquiry into the claim of the petitioners and pass appropriate orders immediately after receiving necessary clarification from the District Collector. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ November 29, 2006 (V.V.S.RAO, J) YS
