Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.O.MANOHER REDDY Counsel for the Respondents 1 to 3: GP FOR REVENUE Counsel for Respondent No.4: Sri T.Srikanth Reddy The Court made the following : ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and the learned standing counsel for the 4th respondent Board. It is the case of the petitioners that they are the absolute owners of the subject matter of land having purchased the same under registered sale deeds and that their names were also mutated in the revenue records. While so, they came to know that the 3rd respondent - Tahsildar, Maheshwaram Mandal, Ranga Reddy District has issued Memo No.D/1353/2007 dated 25.5.2007 directing the Panchayat Secretary, Mankhal Village stating that the Government has directed to incorporate the name of the 4th respondent as against their lands in the revenue records and immediately on coming to know the same, they made a representation to the Collector, Ranga Reddy District on 9.6.2008 requesting him to see that the entries are changed. The grievance of the petitioners is that so far no orders are passed on their representation and in the meanwhile, the 3rd respondent is changing the entries in the revenue records without any notice to them. In the circumstances, till a decision is taken by the 2nd respondent – District Collector on the representation of the petitioners, the 3rd respondent is directed not to give effect to letter dated 25.5.2007 and the 2nd respondent District Collector is directed to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioners said to have been made on 9.6.2008. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. N.V.RAMANA,J DT.17.7.2008 msv ...
