THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 8476 OF 2003 Dated: 05.12.2011 Between : Arigela Nageswar Rao … Petitioner And The Village Secretary and another … Respondents The Court made the following:- THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.8476 OF 2003 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in not issuing the pattadar pass book and title deed in respect of Ac.0.97 cents of land situated in R.S.No.37/4 of Dachavaram village, Veerlapadu Mandal, Krishna District, is arbitrary and illegal. The petitioner claims title and possession in respect of the above said land under a registered settlement deed dated 04.11.1974. Alleging that in spite of his repeated requests, the respondents failed to issue pattadar pass book and title deed, the present writ petition is filed. In the counter affidavit dated 01.07.2003 filed by the 2nd respondent- Mandal Revenue Officer it is stated that on enquiry, it is found that there is a civil dispute with regard to the title of the property claimed by the petitioner and therefore, the petitioner’s request is under consideration and appropriate orders would be passed in accordance with law. What happened thereafter and whether the enquiry is still pending is not known and the counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents are not aware of the subsequent developments. Hence, instead of keeping the matter pending, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to conclude the enquiry and pass appropriate orders, if not already passed following due process of law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of this order. No costs. ____________ Date: 05.12.2011 G. ROHINI, J Ivd
