Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Admittedly, the petitioner is not the original assignee of the land in question and he is stated to have purchased the same from its original assignee, namely, B. Chandraiah. Petitioner submits that he has already approached the revenue authorities for grant of pattadar passbook. If that is the case, until and unless some order is passed by the revenue authorities on the representation said to have been made by the petitioner, this Court cannot interfere in the matter and give a direction to the Mandal Revenue Officer to issue any patta to the petitioner based on the remarks made by the 3rd respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer in the proceedings dated 10.09.2004 that the petitioner is eligible for patta. The writ petition is devoid of merit, and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission. No costs. ________________ N.V.
