She alleges that her father-in-law got assignment of land admeasuring Acs.5.00 in survey No.372-1 situated at Bukkacherla Village and Acs.5.00 in survey No.169-6 situated at Karthanparthi Village, Kambaduru Mandal. However, she alleges that it is she who is cultivating land situated at Bukkacherla Village. She made a representation to second respondent (Tahsildar) complaining about dual patta given to her father-in-law. In response thereto on 01.06.2007 second respondent issued notice of enquiry. It appears that enquiry was not completed. Therefore instant writ petition is filed seeking a direction to second respondent to complete the enquiry. As held by this Court in Mir Fazle Ali Nasiri v. State of Andhra Pradesh[1] this Court cannot prescribe any time schedule for an administrative authority to take action on an apprehension petition. However, this Court observes that as notice of enquiry was issued one year back, second respondent shall complete the enquiry and pass appropriate orders after giving notice to petitioner and her father-in-law - Vadde Chinnappa, S/o Sunkapa With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 02nd December, 2008 Note: Issue CC in one week.
