As per Rule 22(2) of the A.P.Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Rules, 1989, a person was required to approach the Mandal Revenue Officer for necessary transfer on or before 31.10.1998. The Government of Andhra Pradesh, in exercise of their powers under Section 11(1) read with Section 5-A of the A.P.Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, amended Rule 22(2) permitting the transferee to file an application on or before 31.12.2005. In accordance with the said Rule, the petitioner herein allegedly made an application to the second respondent on 7.11.2005 seeking necessary action, in vain. Therefore, present Writ Petition is filed. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General) and perusing the relevant amendment made to the Rules, this Court is convinced that the second respondent should pass appropriate orders within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, if such an application is in fact made. This direction, however, shall not be construed as upholding the title of the petitioner over the lands as alleged or determining the right of the petitioner to seek necessary orders under the provisions of Section 5-A of the Act or the right to seek transfer under Section 4 of the Act.
