No. 9768 of 2004 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue for the respondents. The only grievance of the petitioner as projected in the writ petition is that though he made a representation to the respondent- Mandal Revenue Officer, Koratla, for issuance of Pattedar Pass Book and Rythu Pass Book in respect of an extent of Ac. 0-28 guntas of land in Sy. No. 310 and an extent of Ac. 0–25 guntas of land in Sy. No. 311 of Koratla Town and Mandal, in terms of Section 6-A(1) of the A.P. Record of Rights in Land and Pattedar Pass Book Act, 1971 as far back as on 24-4-2004, neither any action had been taken thereon nor he has been issued the Pattedar Pass Book. The petitioner admittedly made representation to the respondent on 24-4-2004, and even without giving sufficient time for the respondent to act on his representation, has filed this writ petition. Be that as it may, having regard to the fact that the representation made by the petitioner to the respondent is still pending, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, Koratla, is directed to consider and dispose of the representation dated 24-4-2004 made by the petitioner for issuance of Pattedar Pass Book in respect of the extents of land mentioned above in accordance with law, particularly the provisions of the Section 6-A(1) of the A.P. Record of Rights in Land and Pattedar Pass Book Act, 1971, and pass appropriate orders thereon, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.
