Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.N.ASWARTHA NARAYANA Counsel for the Respondent No.1: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is ﬁled by the petitioners stating that the government assigned an extent of Ac.5.20 cents of land in Sy.No.134/7 situated at Hanimireddypalli Village, Belugappa Mandal, Ananthapur District in favour of their grandmother and ever since the date of assignment, she was in possession and enjoyment of the said land by raising crops in the said land. After her death, it is stated that the petitioners’ father and the 2nd respondent succeeded to the said property and both of them were enjoying the property equally. When there was an attempt by the 2nd respondent to obtain pattadar pass books and title deeds in respect of the entire extent of land, their father sent a legal notice on 31.12.2007 to the 1st respondent to issue ‘D’ form patta and pass books for half share in his favour. The grievance of the petitioners is that so far no orders were passed on the said legal notice and the same is kept pending. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the writ petition is taken up for ﬁnal disposal at the admission stage itself. The petitioners want mutation of their names in the revenue record in respect of their share in the land assigned in favour of their grandmother. If that is so, the proper course open to the petitioners is to make a proper application as contemplated under the Record of Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act but not the legal notice. The issue regarding non-consideration of the legal notice cannot be gone into by this Court in this writ petition. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioners to make a proper application to the authorities as per the provisions of the Act seeking mutation of their names. If any such application is ﬁled, the 1st respondent shall consider the same pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. N.V.RAMANA,J Dt.12.9.2008 msv .....
