The petitioner has narrated the circumstances that gave raise to filing of the application. His grievance is that so far no action has been taken thereon, and seeks appropriate directions in this regard. The respondents filed counter affidavit denying the allegations made by the petitioner. It is stated that the very application submitted by the petitioner is untenable since it was filed under Sections 13 and 14 of the Survey and Boundaries Act. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for revenue. Initially, the petitioners approached the Deputy Director of Land Records, Hyderabad, the second respondent herein, for the purpose of correction of entries in the TSLR records through communication, dated 31.08.2007. The second respondent informed the petitioner that it is the first respondent, who is competent to effect the entries. The petitioner submitted a detailed representation/application on 29.11.2007. However, the very subject of the application is so defective that a totally unrelated provision of law i.e., Sections 13 and 14 of the A.P. Survey and Boundaries Act, was mentioned. Neither of the provisions have anything to do with the correction of entries in TSLR records. Since, blatantly defective application is filed, the first respondent has not taken any steps thereon. Even now the petitioner can take some corrective steps for the relief claimed by him. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of leaving it open for the petitioner to file a fresh application by indicating correct provision of law. As and when such an application is filed, the first respondent shall issue notice to the effective parties and pass appropriate orders within a period of four months from the date of receipt of the said application. ______________________ (L.
