THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18143 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner claims ownership and possession over the land of an extent of Ac.0.70 cents covered by Survey No.212/2 in Vaviletipadu Village, Vaviletipadu Gram Panchayat, Gundlapalem Post, Nellore District. It is his grievance that in spite of representation, dated 22.03.2010 submitted by him for issuance of pattadar passbooks and title deeds, the same has not been considered and issued pattadar passbooks and title deeds. It is submitted that the petitioner has purchased the said property by a registered sale deed from the earlier owner and there is no reason for not issuing pattadar passbooks and title deeds to the petitioner pursuant to his representation, dated 22.03.2010. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue that based on the representation submitted by the petitioner, proceedings have already been initiated for conducting enquiry and the same is pending. It is also submitted that after completion of enquiry, appropriate decision will be taken. Under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’), the second respondent is the competent authority to consider as to the issuance of pattadar passbooks and title deeds. However, in view of pendency of the enquiry on the representation submitted by the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to direct the second respondent to complete the enquiry and take appropriate decision on the claim of the petitioner for issuance of pattadar passbooks and title deeds in accordance with the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, within a period of two (2) months from today. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 4th AUGUST, 2010. kvni
