Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.M.A.BARI Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: Petitioner claims to be the owner and possessor of the land in Sy.No.91/1 admeasuring Ac.2.39 guntas and Sy.No.91/2 admeasuring Ac.1.29 guntas dry agricultural land situated at Kataram revenue Village and Mandal, Karimnagar District. It is his case that he made an application before the 1st respondent – Tahsildar (Mandal Revenue Officer), Kataram Mandal, Karimnagar District complaining about the false and fabricated entries made in his passbook and title deeds in collusion with the Village Officer in respect of the said land in favour of respondents 3 and 4 but so far the said application is not disposed of. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. A perusal of the application made by the petitioner shows that the petitioner has filed a petition under Section 3(3) of the A.P.Rights in land and Pattadar Passbooks Act. But, the relief sought for by the petitioner is correction of wrong entries in the revenue records. Therefore, the learned Government Pleader raised an objection that there is no relevance between the application made under Section 3(3) of the Act and the relief sought for by the petitioner i.e. correction of wrong entries and that an application in Rule 13(2) of the Rules has to be made under Rule 18 to the Mandal Revenue Officer for correction of the entries in the revenue records. In the circumstances, the petitioner is directed to file an appropriate application in as per Rule 13(2) of the Rules to the Mandal Revenue Officer seeking correction of entries in the revenue records. If any such application is filed, the Mandal Revenue Officer shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders expeditiously. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
