THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 12990 of 2005 Oral order: Aggrieved by the action of the respondents in not considering their representation for grant of pattadar pass books and title deeds in the respect of the land in question, the petitioners filed the present writ petition. This Court by order dated 20.06.2005, while admitted the writ petition, passed interim directions directing the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioners after issuing notice to them. Thereafter, respondent No.3, namely the Mandal Revenue Officer, Anandapuram Mandal, Visakhapatnam, filed counter affidavit stating that in pursuance of the interim orders of this Court, he issued notice to the petitioners calling upon them to attend the enquiry on 23.07.2005 along with relevant documents. Accordingly, as directed in the notice, the petitioners attended the enquiry and requested two days time. Though time as requested was granted, the petitioners did not attend the enquiry on 25.07.2005. In those circumstances, he issued fresh notices directing the petitioners to attend the enquiry on 29.07.2005. However, the petitioners inspite of receiving the notices did not attend the enquiry. As the petitioners did not attend the enquiry, he passed final orders on 03.08.2005 rejecting the request of the petitioner for issuance of pattadar pass books and title deeds in respect of the land in question. It is further stated in the counter that as against the order of rejection dated 03.08.2005, the petitioners have remedy of appeal before the appellate authority under the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971. Since respondent No.3 passed orders dated 03.08.2005 rejecting the request of the petitioners for grant of pattadar pass books and title deeds, and considering the fact that petitioners have remedy of appeal against the same under the provisions of A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, they are at liberty to avail the same. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ________________ N.V.RAMANA, J Dated: 18th March, 2010 KSR
