Sri V. Jagapathi, the learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that the petitioner, who is aged 93 years, is being driven from pillar to post for mutation of her name in the record of rights though she has succeeded in obtaining a ryotwari patta as far back as the year 1987, which was confirmed finally by respondent No.2 through his order dated 19.01.2010. Though the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that several representations have been made by the petitioner, they are of no avail because, under Section 4 of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’), the petitioner is required to make an application to respondent No.4, who on receipt of the same shall follow the procedure prescribed under Section 5(3) of the Act and pass appropriate orders under Section 5(1) of the Act. As the petitioner has not followed this procedure, she is permitted to make an application. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of with the direction to respondent No.4 to complete the enquiry within a period of eight weeks of receipt of the application by the petitioner and pass appropriate order under Section 5(1) of the Act. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.31916 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 05th October, 2010 GHN
