When the Mandal Revenue Officer effected mutation and issued patta pass books in respect of the said land to some third parties, it is stated that he filed a batch of appeals, which were allowed by the respondent vide common order dated 25.11.2006. It is stated that in the said order, the rights of the petitioner as well as the third parties over the land in question were discussed and elaborately considered. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the procedure prescribed under the A.P. (Telangana Area) Abolition of Inams Act, 1955, for the purpose of issuance of Occupancy Right Certificate was completed, the respondent is not issuing the certificate. It is also stated that the petitioner has also submitted a representation on 6.9.2007 seeking issuance of the Certificate but so far no orders are passed on the said application. Therefore, the petitioner has filed the present petition to direct the respondent to grant the Occupancy Right Certificate forthwith. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the matter is taken up for final hearing at the admission stage itself. Admittedly, the application of the petitioner for issuance of Occupancy Right Certificate is pending before the Revenue Divisional Officer. Therefore, it is agreed by both the learned counsel that without going into the merits of the matter, the writ petition may be disposed of by giving appropriate directions for the disposal of the said representation. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner in accordance with law, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
