THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.22896 of 2006 Dated: 06-11-2006 Between: S. Venkat Reddy and others. ..... PETITIONERS AND The State of A.P., rep. by its Secretary of Revenue, Hyderabad, and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION No.22896 of 2006 ORDER: Legal heirs of one Ponna Mallaiah, protected tenant, filed an application under Section 40 of the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950 before the Mandal Revenue Officer(MRO) seeking succession certificate. The same was dismissed on 28-04-2001 and the order of MRO was also confirmed by respondent No.2, namely, the Revenue Divisional Officer(RDO), Chevella, by proceedings dated 18-02-2006. The petitioners’ application seeking deletion of names of those persons from the revenue records was allowed on 15-04-2006. Aggrieved by the same, the legal heirs of the protected tenant preferred an appeal before RDO, being appeal No.C/1265/2006. The petitioners state that RDO heard final arguments on 22-07-2006 and reserved the orders, but so far no orders have been passed. Therefore, instant writ petition is filed. At the stage of preliminary hearing itself, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General-T) submits that the record called for from MRO was sent for scanning and that as and when the same was received, RDO would pass necessary orders. Keeping this in view, the writ petition is disposed of directing RDO to pass appropriate orders in the appeal filed by the legal heirs of the protected tenant, namely Ponna Narendra and three others, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 06th November, 2006 ghn
