Their grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The verification of applications for issuance of pattadar pass books and title deeds requires issuance of notice to the effected parties and examination of the records, and recently the 3rd respondent has gone for election duties. Therefore, it cannot be said that there was undue delay on his part. Be that as it may, the applications made by the petitioners deserve to be considered without further delay. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent-Tahsildar, Bapulapadu village and Mandal, Krishna District, to pass appropriate orders and take necessary steps on the applications submitted by the petitioners on 29-01-2009 in accordance with the provisions of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 and Rules made thereunder, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, duly issuing notice to the effected parties. ___________________ 30th April 2009 KVR
