THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17896 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the only grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of his application, dated 10.03.2010 in Form No.1(A) under Rule 5(1)(b) of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Rules, 1989 (for short ‘the Rules’), no steps have been taken to change the entries in the record of rights and for issuance of pattadar passbook and title deed for the lands admeasuring Acs.4.20 cents and Ac.0.80 cents in Survey Nos. 42 and 46/1 respectively of Gollalapalem Village, Sabbavaram Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, purchased by him. At the first instance, this matter was listed for hearing on 26.07.2010 and was adjourned to enable the learned Government Pleader to get instructions. Today, when the matter is called, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents that the petitioner’s application, dated 10.03.2010, in which, he sought for change of entries in the record of rights and issuance of pattadar passbook and title deed, is still pending consideration. The second respondent – Tahsildar, Sabbavaram Mandal, Visakhapatnam, is the competent authority under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’). When it is stated that the petitioner submitted application, dated 10.03.2010, in Form No.1(A) under Rule 5(1)(b) of the Rules, it is for the second respondent to consider such application and pass appropriate orders after conducting necessary enquiry. In view of pendency of the application of the petitioner before the second respondent, without going into the merits of his claim, I deem it appropriate to direct the second respondent to consider the application, dated 10.03.2010 of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of two (2) months from today. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 4th AUGUST, 2010. Note: issue c.c. in three (3) days. kvni
