IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE SECOND DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 14009 of 2008 Between: K.Mahesh Gowd, S/o. late K.Lingamaiah Gowd, R/o. 2-89, Ameenpur Village, Patancheru Mandal, Medak District. ..... PETITIONER AND The Tahsildar, Patancheru Mandal, Medak District. .....RESPONDENT Counsel for the Petitioner:MRCHETLURU SREENIVAS Counsel for the Respondent: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to direct the respondent to issue pattadar passbook and title deed in respect of land admeasuring Acs.2.15 guntas in Survey No.192/E of Ameenpur Village, Patancheru Mandal, Medak District in pursuance of the application made by the petitioner for this purpose. Heard Sri Ch.Sreenivas, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioner claims to be the owner of Acs.2.15 guntas in Survey No.192/E of Ameenpur Village, Patancheru Mandal, Medak District having purchased the same under registered sale deed, dated 08.09.2005. His grievance is that though he made his application on 16.09.2005 for mutation of his name in the revenue record, the respondent has not yet disposed of the same. He specifically averred in his affidavit that after receipt of his application, the respondent published notice, dated 24.09.2005 calling for objections and heard arguments on behalf of the petitioner on 03.12.2005. He also averred that apart from advancing oral arguments, he filed written arguments and additional written arguments on 11.05.2006. He felt aggrieved by the inaction of the respondent in not disposing of his application. Since I find that the relief claimed by the petitioner is innocuous, I have not felt it necessary to issue a formal notice to the respondent. If the petitioner’s claim that his application is still pending is correct, there is no justification for the respondent to keep the same pending any longer in view of expiry of almost three (3) years from the date of filing of the application by the petitioner. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondent to dispose of the petitioner’s application for mutation in respect of Acs.2.15 guntas of land in Survey No.192/E of Ameenpur Village, Patancheru Mandal, Medak District within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, if not already disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.18091 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NARAGJUNA REDDY, J 2nd JULY, 2008. kvni
