After abolition of the Jagirs, the land was taken into their custody by the erstwhile Nizam Government. In the proceedings for succession, Nizam Athiyath allegedly declared the petitioner as the successor to one portion of the property vide Munthakab (grant) No.5168, dated 27.12.1960. Based on such Munthakab, the petitioner claims to be the owner of the land admeasuring Acs.238.00 in Survey Nos.77 to 93 of Kondapur Village. He alleges that he sold the land to various cooperative Housing Societies in 1972. In order to transfer the absolute title to the purchasers, he made representations in July 2004 and December 2004 to the District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, for grant of mutation enclosing all the documents as alleged. As there was no response, the present Writ Petition is filed. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General). Learned Assistant Government Pleader on instructions submits that the name of the petitioner in Khasra pahani for the year 1954-1955 was not found. He, however, does not dispute that so far the District Collector or the Mandal Revenue Officer has not passed any orders on the applications made by the petitioner. In view of this, it would not be proper for this Court to express any opinion on the right of the petitioner to seek mutation or on his claim as the owner of the property. Therefore, the petitioner is given two weeks time to approach the Mandal Revenue Officer for grant of mutation, pattadar pass books and title deeds. As and when such application is filed, the Mandal Revenue Officer shall consider and enquire into the same, and pass appropriate orders duly communicating the same to the petitioner. This exercise shall be completed within a period of four months from the date of submission of the application of the petitioner. The Writ Petition, with the above observations and directions, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 01.09.2006 vs
