It is stated that on payment of the market value, 4th respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer sent a report in Lr.No.C/867/2004, dated 09-05-2005, to the 3rd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Hyderabad to consider the regularization based on the latest prescribed G.O.Ms.No.455, dated 29-07-2002, and the 3rd respondent inturn sent a report to the 2nd respondent. 4. Learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that as the proposals sent to regularize under the said G.O.Ms.No.455, dated 29-07-2002, are not applicable, 2nd respondent directed the 3rd respondent to send proposals under G.O.Ms.No.1601, dated 29-08-2005, and thus it is stated that the application filed by the petitioner on 05-07-2004 is still pending on the file of the 2nd respondent. 5.
