THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION Nos. 26840, 28248 and 28255 of 2011 COMMON ORDER: The relief sought for in these Writ Petitions is for issuance of pattadar pass books and title deeds in respect of different extents of land in different survey numbers in Peddapadu Village, Kalluru Mandal, Kurnool District. A consequential direction is sought to the respondents to dispose of the petitioners’ representation dated 26.08.2011. A counter affidavit is filed on behalf of the respondents contending that, since the petitioners did not make the applications for grant of pattadar pass books and title deeds in the prescribed format, the said applications could not be considered and, in case the applications are submitted in the prescribed format, they would be considered, in accordance with law, and necessary action would be taken thereupon. It is only at the insistence of the petitioners that the applications were made in the prescribed format, and they were being needlessly harassed, was the Tahsildar, Kalluru Mandal, Kurnool District directed to produce the records. From the records, it is evident that the petitioners have not submitted the applications in the prescribed format, and the respondents were justified in contending that the applications submitted by them could not, therefore, be processed. Sri P.Madhusudhana Reddy, Learned Counsel for the petitioners, would submit that the petitioners would submit the applications in the prescribed format, within two weeks from today. In case such applications are filed, the Tahsildar, Kalluru Mandal, Kurnool District (fourth respondent) shall consider the said applications, in accordance with law, and take necessary action within a period of three months from the date of receipt of the applications. Since the erroneous averment of the petitioners that they had submitted the applications in the prescribed format necessitated this Court calling the fourth respondent all the way from the Kurnool District, I consider it appropriate that the petitioners, in each of these three Writ Petitions, be mulcted with costs of Rs.500/- (Rupees Five Hundred Only) which shall be paid to the credit of the Secretary, Revenue Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh. The petitioners shall enclose a copy of the receipt, of payment of costs, to the applications to be submitted by them in the prescribed format to the fourth respondent. The Writ Petitions are, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:31.10.2011 usd
