A copy of the said representation is enclosed to the writ petition. No proof is filed before this Court in evidence of the allegation that such a representation is duly received by the District Collector. Be that as it is, as the petitioner is allegedly made the representation on 02.1.1993 and filed the present writ petition on 19.2.2004, it may not be proper for this Court to direct the fourth respondent to dispose of the said representation. However, liberty is given to the petitioners to make a fresh representation for mutation before appropriate authority under the provisions of A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 in proper form. As and when such application is made, the fourth respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of such application.
