After acquiring the property under the gift deed, the petitioner made representations on 30.04.2003 and 26.01.2004 for issue of pattadar pass books and title deeds (PPB), in vain. Therefore, they got issued a legal notice on 24.06.2007. Alleging that no action is initiated, the present Writ Petition is filed. After hearing the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, this Court is convinced that the Writ Petition, as laid, cannot be accepted. When the petitioner seeks PPB under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, and the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Rules, 1989 (for short ‘the Rules’), he has to necessarily follow the procedure laid down therein. The petitioner admittedly did not make an application in Form VI(A) as required under Rule 18 of the Rules. Therefore, the Writ Petition cannot be entertained. If so advised, the petitioner may approach the Tahasildar again and make appropriate application in Form VI(A) of the Rules. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 06.08.2007 vs
