HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.20675 of 2010 Date: March 21, 2011 Between: Akula Venkaiah … Petitioner And 1. The District Collector, Medak at Sangareddy & 2 others. … Respondents * * * HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.20675 of 2010 ORDER: The complaint of the petitioner is with regard to the inaction on the part of the Tahsildar, Dubbak Mandal, the second respondent, in issuing a pattadar passbook and title deeds to him in respect of the land which was the subject matter of the decree dated 12.7.1985 in O.S. No.234 of 1984 on the file of the learned District Munsif, Siddipet. 2. The petitioner claims that his joint family was in possession of an extent of Acs.25.25 guntas of land in Rajakkapet village, Dubbak Mandal, Medak District. As third parties tried to encroach upon the said land, the petitioner along with his family members filed O.S. No.234 of 1984 on the file of the learned District Munsif, Siddipet, seeking recovery of possession and perpetual injunction. The said suit was decreed on 12.7.1985. Pursuant to the said decree, E.P. No.35 of 1985 was filed by the petitioner and his family members whereby possession of the subject land was given to them under panchanama dated 06.11.1985. Thereafter, some of the defendants in O.S. No.234 of 1984 filed O.S. No.374 of 1985 before the learned District Munsif, Siddipet, seeking an injunction against the petitioner and his family members. The trial court dismissed the said suit by judgment and decree dated 30.6.1990. 3. Pursuant to the above sequence of events, the petitioner claims to have made a number of representations to the authorities seeking issuance of a pattadar passbook and title deeds as per the judgment of the civil court. Aggrieved by their inaction, he made a representation to the District Collector, Medak, which resulted in letter dated -12-2008 being addressed by the Collector, Medak to the Tahsildar, Dubbak Mandal, requesting him to look into the matter and take necessary action as per the court direction. The Tahsildar, Dubbak Mandal, however, remained unmoved. Hence, this writ petition. 4. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, stated on instructions that the matter was still pending with the Tahsildar, Dubbak Mandal. 5. As the judgments of the competent civil court which settled the issue date back to the year 1990 and the District Collector, Medak, himself directed necessary action to be taken in the matter in December 2008, there is no reason as to why the Tahsildar, Dubbak Mandal, should keep the issue pending indefinitely. 6. There shall accordingly be a direction to the Tahsildar, Dubbak Mandal, to act upon the Letter No.D1/8497/08 dated -12-2008 addressed by the Collector, Medak District at Sangareddy and take necessary action in the matter, including issuance of a pattadar passbook and title deeds to the petitioner as per the determination of issues by the learned District Munsif, Siddipet, in O.S. No.234 of 1984 by his judgment and decree dated 12.7.1985. This exercise shall be completed expeditiously and in any event, not later than three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 7. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. No order as to costs. __________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J Date: March 21, 2011. BSB
