Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the matter is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. It is the case of the petitioners that the grandmother of the petitioner made an application on 12.10.2004 to the 3rd respondent under A.P.Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 to mutate her name in the pattas in respect of the land in question in view of the will executed by her husband. Pursuant to the said application, the Mandal Revenue Officer issued public notice through proceedings dated 9.11.2004 calling for objections from the General Public within 15 days from the date of publication. While the matter stood thus, the grandmother of the petitioner died in the year 2007 and he came to know that the 3rd respondent issued pattadar passbooks and title deeds in respect of the said land in favour of third parties without even issuing any notice either to his grandmother or to any of his family members. Therefore, the family members of the petitioner made representation to the 1st respondent-District Collector, Warangal requesting him to take appropriate action for cancellation of pattadar pass books and title deeds issued in favour of third parties, in vein. Hence this writ petition. Since the representation made by the family members of the petitioner is already pending consideration before the 1st respondent, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader agreed that the writ petition may be disposed of directing the respondents to dispose of the said representation. In view of the above, without going into the merits of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the representation of the family members of the petitioner as expeditiously as possible.
