With the assistance of the learned counsel for the petitioners, this Court has gone through the applications made by the petitioners for pattadar passbooks. As per Rule 18 of the A.P.

Therefore, giving liberty to the petitioners to approach the Mandal Revenue Officer again and apply in a proper form as per Rule 18 of the Rules, the writ petitions are disposed of. As and when such applications are made, the Mandal Revenue Officer shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders within three months thereafter. The writ petitions are accordingly disposed of. _______________ Date : August 06, 2004. V.V.S.
