Petitioner And The District Collector, Kurnool and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : Sri K.Venu Gopal Reddy Counsel for respondents : Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.15786 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner, which is a Mosque society, has felt aggrieved by the inaction of the respondents in general and respondent Nos.3 to 5 in particular, in acting on its representations for mutation of the petitioner’s name in the Record of Rights. According to the petitioner, the properties in question were purchased as far back as 24-9-1954 under a valid registered document and that though the petitioner is in enjoyment of the said property since then, its name is not mutated in the revenue records. At the hearing Sri K.Venu Gopal Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted, and in my view rightly, that a statutory obligation is cast on respondent Nos.3 to 5 under Section 5 of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act 1971 (for short “the Act”) to consider the applications for amendment of entries in the Record of Rights and pass appropriate orders after following the procedure prescribed under Section 5(3) of the Act. No counter affidavit is filed by any of the respondents justifying their inaction in this regard. In the above facts and circumstances of the case, the Writ Petition is disposed of in the following terms: (i) within four weeks from today, the petitioner shall make necessary applications before respondent Nos.3 to 5 under the provisions of the Act; (ii) on receipt of such applications, respondent Nos.3 to 5 shall hold enquiry after following the procedure under Section 5(3) of the Act; and (iii) within three months after receipt of applications, respondent Nos.3 to 5 shall complete the enquiry and take appropriate decision and communicate the same to the petitioner. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.19873/2010 is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY.,J Date : 28-9-2010 AM
