THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.4067 of 2006 Dated: 07-08-2006 Between: Ghulam Hussain and others. ..... PETITIONERS AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Hyderabad and three others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.4067 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner, who is represented by duly constituted (as alleged) General Powers of Attorney filed the instant writ petition seeking a writ of Mandamus directing the fourth respondent herein, namely, the Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO), Serlingampally Mandal, to conduct enquiry and dispose of the application made by them on 02-01-2006. Be it noted that in the said application, they requested MRO to conduct enquiry and permit them to produce the record in support of their title and possession in respect of the land admeasuring Ac.1.00 in survey No.64 (part) situated at Madhapur Village of said Mandal. The learned counsel for the petitioners invites the attention of this Court to the memo dated 23-12-2005 of the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration (CCLA), whereunder the District Collector was directed to take necessary action in the matter. It appears that the petitioners requested CCLA to direct the District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, to conduct enquiry and issue pattadar pass books (PPBs) and title deeds in their favour. CCLA then directed the Collector to take necessary action. After getting instructions, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General) submits that request of the petitioners for PPBs and title deed was rejected and that they then made an application to convert Kariz khata land (Government poramboke land) into private patta land, which cannot be done. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General) does not dispute that the application made by the petitioners is still pending before the District Collector. In this background, this Court is of the opinion that the District Collector should look into the matter and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition, wit the above direction, is disposed of. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 7th August, 2006 ghn
