THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.2430 of 2006 Dated: 06.02.2007 Between: P. Balakrishna Reddy. ..... PETITIONERS AND The District Collector, Nellore, and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION No.2430 of 2006 ORDER: This writ petition is ﬁled seeking a direction to the respondents to make necessary entries in the revenue records showing the name of the petitioner as pattadar as per the orders of the Additional Assistant Settlement Oﬃcer, Nellore, dated 15.02.1966. Though the interlocutory matter is listed, the writ petition is being disposed of as the controversy is in a short compass. It is the case of the petitioner that his father purchased land admeasuring Acs.2.65 gts in survey Nos.175/1, 175/2, 176/4 and 176/6 situated at Thirthampadu Village, Venkatagiri Taluk (now Dakkili Mandal), Nellore District from the estate holder. After coming into force of the Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1948 (for short, the Act), the petitioner’s father applied to the Assistant Settlement Oﬃcer for grant of Ryotwari patta under Section 11(a) of the Act. It is the case of the petitioner that after conducting enquiry by proceedings vide S.R.No.185/11(a)/VKG/64 dated 15.02.1966, the Assistant Settlement Oﬃcer granted Ryotwari patta. The petitioner alleges that in spite of the same, second respondent did not make necessary entries in the revenue records nor passed orders on the several representations made by the petitioner. Therefore, he filed instant writ petition. Though notice was issued by this Court in February, 2006, no counter-aﬃdavit is ﬁled. However, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue does not dispute that the representation made by the petitioner is still pending. Therefore, second respondent may look into the said representation and pass necessary orders. It shall also be open to the petitioner to ﬁle appropriate application under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (the ROR Act, for brevity), seeking grant of pattadar passbooks and title deeds. In such an event, second respondent shall conduct necessary enquiry as per the ROR Act and the Rules made thereunder and pass appropriate orders within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 06th February, 2007 Note: Issue CC in one week. B/o ghn
