FOR REVENUE The Court at the admission, made the following : ORDER : Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, and both of them agreed for disposal of the writ petition finally at the stage of admission. Assailing the action of the first respondent in not issuing the title deed in respect of Ac.4-48 cents of land in survey No.436/3 of Rajala Agraharam, Hamlet of Koppukondapalem, Rambilli Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, the present writ petition is filed. The petitioner claims to be owner of the land in question having acquired the same by virtue of a registered gift deed executed by her mother viz. Appayamma in the year 2003. According to the petitioner, for issuance of pattadar pass book and title deed in respect of the land in question, she made an application under Section 6-A of A.P. Rights in Land and Pattedar Passbook Act, 1971 by paying requisite fee, to the first respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, who after enquiry issued pattadar pass book only, but failed to issue title deed. There upon, she made an application to the District Collector, Visakhapatnam on 28-6-2004 for issuance of title deed, but no action has been taken in the matter. Hence, the writ petition. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition in the following terms. The petitioner is at liberty to file an application before the first respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, Rambilli Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, for issuance of title deeds in respect of the land in question, and upon receiving such an application, the first respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, after considering the same in accordance with law, shall issue title deeds, if the petitioner is entitled for the same, and if there is any objection regarding issuance of title deeds, he shall pass speaking order in respect thereof.
