The Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy Writ Petition No.19164 of 2010 Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a declaration, by way of Mandamus, that the action of respondent No.1, in not considering the petitioner’s representation, dated 30-06- 2010, to enter his name in revenue records/adangals for Ac.0.08 cents out of Ac.2.40 cents in R.S.No.137/1 situated at Lingagudem Village, Chintalapudi Mandal as per Section 5 of the A.P.Record of Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’), is illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner claims that he is the original owner of an extent of Ac.2-40 cents covered by R.S.No.137/1 situated at Lingagudem Village, Chintalapudi Mandal, West Godavari District, and that he sold an extent of Ac.2-32 cents of land to respondent No.2 by retaining about Ac.0-08 cents thereof. It is his grievance that though he sold only Ac.0-22 cents of land, the revenue records reveal the possession of respondent No.2 over Ac.0-30 cents including Ac.0-08 cents of land retained by him, and the representation, dated 30- 06-2010, made by him before respondent No.1- Mandal Revenue Officer, who is the authority under the provisions of the Act, in this regard is not being considered and disposed of. Hence, he filed the present Writ Petition. When this Writ Petition came up for hearing on 06-08- 2010, it was adjourned to enable the learned Government Pleader for Revenue representing respondent No.1 to get instructions as to whether any application filed by the petitioner is pending consideration before the authority concerned. Today when the matter is taken up, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that the petitioner’s application, dated 30-06-2010, is pending enquiry before respondent No.1. The legality or otherwise of the claim made by the petitioner is a matter, which requires to be enquired into by respondent No.1- competent authority by issuing appropriate notice to respondent No.2, who is the effected party. As it is stated that the petitioner’s application is pending enquiry before respondent No.1, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this Writ Petition directing respondent No.1 to make an enquiry on the said application, take appropriate decision thereon, after giving notice to the petitioner as well as respondent No.2, and communicate the same to the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ R.Subhash Reddy, J Date: 13th August, 2010 Note: Furnish CC in one week.
