Mulagada Venkata Rama Krishna .. Respondents O R D E R:- The petitioner asserts that she is the absolute owner and possessor of the lands in a extent of Ac.5.60 cents in R.S. No.180/2, Ac.6.96 cents in R.S. No.183/1 and Ac.2.96 cents in R.S. No.228/3, situated at Indukur, Pothukonda village East Godavari District, having been gifted the same by her father, under a registered Gift Deed, dated 04.06.1963. While so, according to the petitioner, the 3rd respondent, without conducting enquiry, which is contrary to the provisions contemplated under Section 5A of the Rights in Land and Pattedar Passbook Act, 1971, issued pattedar passbook in favour of the 4th respondent. Then, the petitioner made a representation by producing the original Registered Gift Deed, requesting the 3rd respondent to cancel the pattedar passbook issued in favour of the 4th respondent and issue pattedar passbook in her favour, but the 3rd respondent did not consider the same. On 21.01.2008, the petitioner filed an appeal before the 2nd respondent-Sub- Collector, but it is her grievance that the 2nd respondent has not disposed of her appeal so far. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 3 and having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, is inclined to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: “The 2nd respondent-Sub-Collector, Rampachodavarm, is directed to consider the appeal, purported to have been filed by the petitioner on 21.01.2008, and pass appropriate orders thereon, in accordance with law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.” Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of.
