Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.D.V.SITARAMAMURTHY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : Order: Aggrieved by the action of the 1st respondent – Tahsildar, Visakhapatnam Rural, Visakhapatnam in not processing the application of the petitioner dated 26.5.2006 for grant of title deed and pattadar passbook, the present writ petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The only grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that though he made an application under Form 1A to the 1st respondent on 26.5.2006 in respect of an extent of Ac.10.80 cents of land in S.No.180 situate at Paradesipalem Village, Visakhapatnam under the provisions of the Record of Rights Act, 1971, the same has not been disposed of so far and thereby he is not in a position to further develop his land. This Court on 27.11.2007 while admitting the writ petition directed the parties to maintain status quo with regard to possession. The respondents have not filed any counter affidavit so far. Today, when the matter is taken up, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the writ petition may be disposed of directing the authorities to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner dated 26.5.2006 for which the learned Government Pleader also agreed. In the circumstances, 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 petitioner dated 26.5.2006 for grant of title deeds and pass book expeditiously and till such time, status quo orders granted by this Court on 27.11.2007 shall be maintained. No costs. N.V.RAMANA,J Dated:05.03.2008 msv.
