THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.29782 of 2011 ORDER: The relief sought for in this Writ Petition is for a direction to the Tahsildar, Shamshabad Mandal, Ranga Reddy District (second respondent) to dispose of the application of the petitioners filed under the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 expeditiously. When the matter came up on 09.11.2011, Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Telangana Area) sought time to obtain instructions. Today the Learned Government Pleader, on instructions, would state that the application of the petitioners is still pending before the second respondent; it has been posted to 26.11.2011; the lands of the petitioners were surplus lands; and, since notices are required to be issued to several persons, the application would be disposed of at the earliest, in any event, within a period of three months from today. The matter has been pending consideration of the second respondent ever since July 2011. I consider it appropriate, therefore, to direct the second respondent to dispose of the application, in accordance with law, at the earliest in any event, not later than 31.01.2012. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:16.11.2011 usd
