It is submitted that the petitioner’s father was granted ryotwari patta to the extent of Ac.1-00 cents of dry land in Sy.No.234/13 of Tiruchanoor Revenue village by the Deputy Tahsildar on 21-12-1980. On the date of assignment, the petitioner’s father was in possession and enjoyment of the said property. While so, the Inam Deputy Tahsildar, Chittoor, passed an order under Section 2 (A) of the Andhra Pradesh Inams (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, converting the land into Inam land through his proceedings dated 25-04-1984. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner approached this Court through W.P.No.13742 of 1984, and on 08-07-1988, this Court set aside the proceedings of the Inam Deputy Tahsildar, Chittoor, dated 25-04-1984, on the ground of violation of principles of natural justice. Thereafter, the petitioner submitted several representations to the second respondent requesting to issue pattadar pass book and title deed. But the second respondent did not take any action. Therefore, she approached the Revenue Divisional Officer and the Revenue Divisional Officer has not passed any order on her appeal so far. Therefore, she is constrained to file this writ petition. 3. Upon considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition at the stage of admission. Accordingly, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Tirupati, is directed to consider and dispose of the C.M.P.No.243 of 2005 filed by the petitioner, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after giving opportunity to the petitioner. 4. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ________________ E.DHARMA RAO, J 24th June, 2005 SKM To 1 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Tirupathi, Chittoor District. 2 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Tiruchanoor, Tirupathi Rural Mandal, Chittoor District. 4 Two C.Cs. to G.P. for Revenue, High Court Buildings, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad.
