THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.27465 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioners approached the Manager of Jillela Branch, State Bank of Hyderabad, 4th respondent herein with a request to advance loans. Since they are agriculturists, owning certain landed property, they produced their pattadar pass books before the 4th respondent. He in turn addressed a letter, dated 12.09.2008 to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Sircilla, 2nd respondent herein to verify the genuinity. The 2nd respondent informed the 4th respondent through letter dated 01.11.2008 stating that out of the six pattadar pass books sent for verification, two are found genuine and that no entries are found in the records maintained by the Tahsildar office in relation to the pattadar pass books said to have been issued in the names of the petitioners. It was pointed out that they are not genuine and a copy of the letter was forwarded to the Station House Officer, Sircilla for necessary investigation. The petitioners feel aggrieved by the impugned letter dated 01.11.2008. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioners placed the pattadar pass books said to have been issued to them before the 4th respondent for extending the facility of loans. The 2nd respondent verified the genuinity thereof and found that corresponding entries are not made in the Form-1-B register maintained in the Tahsil office. Though the petitioners make an effort to convince this Court that the pattadar pass books issued to them are genuine, it is not at all permissible for this Court to undertake such an exercise. Even now, the petitioners can approach the 3rd respondent for issuance of pattadar pass books and in such an event, their claims can be considered independently, if necessary, with reference to those, which are relied upon by them. In case, such an application is made, the Station House Officer, Sircilla can be required to defer further action. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that it shall be open to the petitioners to file the applications in the prescribed form for issuance of pattadar pass books in respect of their land before the 3rd respondent within a period of four (4) weeks from today. In case, such applications are filed, they shall be considered on their own merits, and the police authorities shall not take any steps on the basis of the existing pattadar pass books. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 16.03.2009 Note: Issue C.C. in three days. (B/o) JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.27465 of 2008 Date: 16.03.2009 JSU
