THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.7438 of 2004 Dated: 18-07-2006 Beteen Gudimetla Dharma Reddy. ..... PETITIONER AND The District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, Hyderabad, and two others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION NO.7438 of 2004 ORDER: Petitioner claims to be the owner of land in survey No.34-A (admeasuring Acs.4.20 guntas) and survey No.35-A (admeasuring Acs.2.14 guntas) situated at Shivareddypet Village, Vikarabad Mandal. He sent a representation through his lawyer to first respondent requesting to rectify record of rights showing the land in survey Nos.34-A and 35-A as belongs to him. It appears that the land was recorded as Government land. Alleging that no orders are passed on the representation, the petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents to consider his application. It is no doubt true that as rightly contended by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General) when the land is Government land, Section 12 of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, has no application. However, when the receipt of the representation made by the petitioner is not denied, it would be proper for third respondent to consider the same and pass appropriate orders. Liberty is given to the petitioner to give a copy of the representation to third respondent within a period of one week from today. After receiving such copy of representation, third respondent shall dispose of the same within a period of four weeks thereafter. The writ petition, with the above observations and directions, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 18th July, 2006. ghn
