ANJANA DEVI, SATYANARAYANA Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court at the stage of admission made the following : ORDER: The present writ petition is filed questioning the action of the respondent in not issuing the certified copies of the proceedings applied on 5-8-2004. The petitioner claims to have been assigned plot No. 76 on 17-7-1982 and a D-form patta was also issued to him to an extent of 3 cents. While so, the petitioner was issued with a show cause notice for cancellation of the D-form patta on the ground that the subject plot was purchased from one Savaram Subbarao. The petitioner contends that the Forest Department has cancelled the Saw Mill licence of the petitioner, on the ground that the patta of the plot in question was cancelled and the petitioner has made an application on 5-8-2004 to the respondent to issue certified copies of proceedings dated 23-4-2002, 18-1-2002 and cancellation of patta of subject plot, if any. Complaining that no action was taken thereon, the present writ petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Both counsel agreed for disposal of the writ petition at the stage of admission. Since, the relief sought for by the petitioner is limited to the extent of furnishing certified copies, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent to consider the application of the petitioner dated 5-8-2004 and if the petitioner is entitled to receive the certified copies in question, issue the same, subject to petitioner complying with the due procedure, if any. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. ____________ N.V.RAMANA,J 1-12-2004 TVK To 1 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Kakinada, East Godavari District 2.2CCs to G.P. for Revenue 2.2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{RLD} THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V.
