PETITIONERS AND The Mandal Revenue Officer (Tahsildar), Keesara Mandal, Keesara, Ranga Reddy District. .....RESPONDENT Counsel for the Petitioners:MR.K.VENUMADHAV Counsel for the Respondent:AGP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is ﬁled for a writ of mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondent in passing order on the application of the petitioners for entering their names in the record of rights in respect of Acs.10.28 guntas in Survey No.473 of Kapra Village, Keesara Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, Sri K.Venu Madhav, learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that though the petitioners made their representation on 19.07.2006 to the respondent to enter their names in the revenue record in respect of the above mentioned land, he did not pass any order. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, on instructions, stated that the land admeasuring Acs.20.28 guntas in Survey No.473 of Kapra Village is classiﬁed as Kharizkhata, as it was surplus land under the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976. The petitioners’ grievance that their application is not disposed of is innocuous and legitimate, inasmuch as when an application is made for entering their names in the record of rights, it is the duty of the Tahsildar to pass an appropriate order under Section 5(3) of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971. In this view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of, without going into the merits of the claim of the petitioners, with a direction to the respondent to pass appropriate orders on application, dated 19.07.2006 said to have been ﬁled by the petitioners for entering their names in the record of rights, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.27677 of 2008 ﬁled by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 26th SEPTEMBER, 2008. kvni
