It seems that there were other owners to the said property and in a partition executed amongst the members of the family, the acquired land was also included and the same was allotted to the share of the husband of the 2nd respondent herein one Sambasivan. Legal heirs of late Sambasivan applied for getting a patta in their name and they were informed that the land is registered as a puramboke land. Second respondent then approached the District Collector in an appeal against the findings of the Assistant Director and the appeal was allowed as per Exhibit-P1. Petitioner preferred a revision before the Land Revenue Commissioner and the same was disposed of as per 2 Exhibit-P4 remitting the matter to the District Collector for fresh disposal. Petitioner is aggrieved by the orders to be passed by the District Collector. Hence the writ petition praying for the following reliefs. “i) To issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ or order or direction, directing the 1st respondent to dispose of the proceeding No.D.Dis-76796/04/B9 pending consideration as expeditiously within such stipulated time as directed by this Hon'ble Court” 2. I heard learned Government Pleader also. 3. Since the remand order passed by the Land Revenue Commissioner is dated 1.3.2008, it is only appropriate that the District Collector passes fresh orders as directed in Exhibit-P4, after hearing all affected parties,as early as possible, at any rate within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Ordered accordingly. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (V.GIRI,JUDGE) ma 3 4
