HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.19781 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioners herein are complaining about the inaction of the respondents, particularly the Tahsildar, Gangavarm Mandal, East Godavari District in not issuing the pattedar passbook and title deeds in favour of the petitioner No.1 over land of extent of Ac.1.57 cents situated in Sy.No.23/3, Rajapetaladdi Village, Rampachodavaram Mandal. Though the necessary particulars and details have been furnished by way of a representation dated 17.06.2010, to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Rampachodavaram Mandal, as well as the Tahsildar, Gangavaram Mandal, but nonetheless the fact remains that the application in Form VI (A), which is required to be filed in terms of Section 4 read with Rule 18 of the Rules made under A.P.Rights in Land and Pattedar Passbook Act, 1971, have not been lodged in accordance with law. As per Rule 18 (3) (c), the competent authority is required to examine the claim lodged in Form VI (A) and pass appropriate orders thereon within a period of six months. Therefore, if the petitioners herein lodge the claim petition with the Tahsildar/Mandal Revenue Officer, Gangavaram Mandal, East Godavari District, the same be dealt with within a period of six months and considered and appropriate orders be passed. It is needless for me to observe that all necessary parties will be provided an opportunity of hearing before any such orders are passed. 2. With this, the writ petition stands disposed of as consented to by the learned Government Pleader. ____________________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J July 15, 2011 SP HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.19781 OF 2011 July 15, 2011 SP
