Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. On 14.2.2008, when the matter was taken up for admission, learned counsel for the petitioner sought time to ascertain as to under what provision the Tahsildar is entitled to issue Family Earning Member Certificate. Today, when the matter is taken up, learned Government Pleader produced before this Court a copy of G.O.Ms.No.3, Revenue (Service-III) Department dated 5.1.1990 according to which the Mandal Revenue Officer is entitled to issue Community /Solvency/Nativity/Income/Family Members Certificates. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that even though the petitioner has sought for the relief of issuance of ‘Family Earning Member Certificate’, it would be suffice if a direction is issued to the Mandal Revenue Officer to issue the Family Members Certificate. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to consider the request of the petitioner in the light of G.O.Ms.No.3 dated 5.1.1990 and if he is entitled, issue Family Members Certificate as prayed for by him expeditiously.
