THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.778 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner figured as a party in a revision under Section 9 of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books, Act, 1971 before the Joint Collector-I, Ranga Reddy District, the first respondent herein. During the course of enquiry into it, the petitioner is said to have filed the originals of an agreement of sale, dated 15.01.1980, pattadar pass book, survey panchanama and certified copies of pahanies for the years 1962-63 to 1994-95, apart from certain other documents. The revision was dismissed on 05.07.1999. The petitioner submitted an application, dated 28.02.2008, before the first respondent with a prayer to return the original documents. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Once the revision that was pending before the first respondent was disposed of, the petitioner is entitled for return of the original documents filed therein. For the sake of record, the first respondent can insist on filing of certified copies of those documents and thereafter return the originals. There cannot be any justification to keep the application pending indefinitely. Hence, the writ petition is deposed of, directing the first respondent to take necessary steps for return of the originals filed by the petitioner in Case No.D5/5594/1997, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:29.01.2009 kdl
