THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.23376 of 2006 Dated: 13-11-2006 Between: Smt. Pasupuleti Sakunthalamma. ..... PETITIONER AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its District Collector, Kadapa, and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION No.23376 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner got land admeasuring Ac.1.63 cents in survey No.2194/B2 and Ac.1.24 cents in survey No.2195/1 situated at Settigunta Village, Kodur Mandal in Kadapa District under gift deed dated 21-07-1973 executed by her husband late Pasupuleti Raman. When there was threat of dispossession and dispute over title, she filed O.S.No.77 of 1980 on the file of the Court of the District Munsif, Rajampet. By judgment and decree dated 26-07-1983, the trial Court dismissed the suit. The petitioner, however, was successful in her appeal before the Court of II Additional District Judge, Kadapa, in A.S.No.98 of 1983 by judgment and decree dated 25-10-1991. Aggrieved by the same, two second appeals were filed before this Court i.e., by the Government as well as the contesting defendants in the suit. These two second appeals, being S.A.Nos.80 of 1992 and 200 of 1992, were dismissed by this Court by judgments dated 11-03-1992 and 22- 04-2003 respectively. The petitioner then approached respondent No.3, the Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO), requesting for issue of pattadar passbooks (PPBs) and title deeds. It appears that at that stage, respondent No.4 asserting herself to be another wife of late Pasupuleti Raman put up rival claims before MRO. A notice of enquiry was issued by MRO, pursuant to which the petitioner allegedly submitted all the material in support of her claim. It is alleged that MRO did not conduct any enquiry nor passed any orders. Therefore, the petitioner filed instant writ petition, inter alia, seeking a direction to MRO to issue PPBs and title deeds in her favour immediately. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General-A). The learned Assistant Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that the matter is still pending before MRO. Therefore, instead of keeping the matter pending and without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, this writ petition is disposed of directing MRO to pass appropriate orders on the claim made by the petitioner for issue of PPBs and title deeds within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 13th November, 2006 Note: Issue CC in one week. B/o ghn
