Pally village, Marripadu Mandal, Nellore District, in the court auction conducted by the Senior Civil Judge, Kovvur, in E.P. No. 41 of 1999 on 15.02.2005. The case of the petitioner is that based on the sale certificate issued by the Senior Civil Judge, Kovvur, he made an application dated 24.07.2006 to respondent No.2-Tahsildar for issuance of pattadar passbook and title deed and for mutation of his name in the revenue records in respect of the said lands, and though respondent No.2-Tahsildar issued orders dated 21.08.2006, directing respondent No.3-Mandal Revenue Inspector, to issue pattadar passbook and title deed in his name, so far no action thereon had been taken. Hence, he filed the present writ petition. Despite granting sufficient time, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue has not obtained any instructions in the matter so far. However, having regard to the fact that the petitioner is only seeking implementation of the orders dated 21.08.2006 of respondent No.2, he agreed for disposal of the writ petition with the following directions: Respondent No.3, namely the Mandal Revenue Inspector, Marripadu Mandal, Nellore District, is directed to consider the case of the petitioner for issuance of pattadar passbook and title deed in respect of the lands in question, in the light of the orders dated 21.08.2006 passed by respondent No.2-Tahsildar, and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 18.06.2008 Ksr/Nsr
