Heard Sri P.Sridhar Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondents 1 to 3 and Sri G.Venkateswarlu, learned counsel representing respondents 4 to 7 and perused the record. The only grievance of the petitioners in this writ petition is against the inaction of respondent No.3 in considering their application dated 06-12-2004 for grant of pattadar pass books and title deeds with regard to Acs.26.86 cents of land comprised in Sy.No.1903/1 of Nellore Bit-II village, Nellore Rural Mandal and District. In the counter affidavit filed by respondent No.3, it is admitted that the petitioners made an application on 06-12-2004 for grant of pattadar pass books and title deeds. It is further stated that respondents 4 to 7 also filed similar applications on 21-10-2004 and 15-11-2004 for a similar relief and that one Pellati Raghunadha Reddy and three others filed such applications too in respect of Acs.13.43 cents out of the extent for which the petitioners made the application. In his counter affidavit, respondent No.3 stated that he is prepared to hold an enquiry into all the three sets of claims and adjudicate the issue. Since respondents 4 to 7 also filed a set of applications for issue of pattadar pass books and title deeds before respondent No.3, there cannot be any conceivable objection on their part to consider the application of the petitioners along with their applications and the application of one Pellati Raghunadha Reddy and three others. Admittedly, respondent No.3 is competent to receive and dispose of the applications for issue of pattadar pass books and title deeds under the provisions of A.P.Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971. Having regard to the nature of the case and the stand taken by respondent No.3, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction that respondent No.3 shall consider all the three sets of applications referred to above and pass appropriate orders, after hearing all the interested parties, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.6602 of 2005 filed by the petitioners for the interim relief is disposed of as infructuous _________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dt:18.06.2008 Note:Furnish copy within one week B/o Usd
