Counsel for the Petitioners:MR.SAI GANGADHAR CHAMARTY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO.20401 of 2008 ORDER: The writ petition is ﬁled for a Writ of Mandamus directing the 1st respondent-Tahsildar, Kruthivennu Mandal, Krishna District, to complete the inquiry pursuant to the notice, dated 24.04.2008, in respect of granting of Pattadar Pass Book and title deed bearing Patta No.689 in favour of the 2nd respondent. 2. The case of the petitioners is that they are the absolute owners and possessors of the lands to an extent of Ac.0.50 cents in RS.No.122/78, Ac.0.30 cents in RS.No.124/7, Ac.0.74 cents in RS.No.135, Ac.1.41 cents in RS.No.107/3, Ac.1.94 cents in RS.No.107/4, Ac.0.40 cents in RS.No.171/4 and Ac.0.16 ½ in RS.No.177 of Chinnagollapalem village of Kruthivennu Mandal of Krishna District, having acquired the same from their mother late Borra Saraswathamma under Will, dated 16.10.1997, and they have been in possession and enjoyment of the same under the said Will. While so, the 2nd respondent, who is not at all concerned with the subject lands, claiming himself to be the adopted son of late Borra Kanakaiah and late Borra Saraswathamma, ﬁled O.S.No.165 of 2007 on the ﬁle of the Junior Civil Judge, Bantumilli, Krishna District against one B.Swamy and three others for permanent injunction restraining them from interfering with his alleged possession and enjoyment of the subject lands. The grievance of the petitioners is that when they came to know from the contents of the plaint in the suit ﬁled by the 2nd respondent that the 2nd respondent, by producing the Will, dated 01.10.1997, alleged to have been executed by the mother of the petitioners, has obtained Pattadar Pass Book and Title deeds in respect of the subject lands in his favour, they ﬁled an application before the 1st respondent-Tahsildar, Kruthivennnu Mandal, Krishna District, to conduct enquiry and cancel the pattadar pass books granted in favour of the 2nd respondent in respect of the subject lands. Thereupon, the 1st respondent issued notice, dated 24.04.2008, calling upon them to appear before him on 19.05.2008 with original title deeds for enquiry, and, accordingly, they appeared before the 1st respondent and ﬁled their objections. Pursuant thereto, the 1st respondent conducted preliminary inquiry on the said date and informed that further date will be intimated to them after some time, but till date, neither further enquiry is conducted nor any orders are passed by him. Hence, this writ petition. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, and at their request, the writ petition is taken up for disposal at the admission stage. 4. Since it is the case of the petitioners that the 1st respondent, having conducted preliminary inquiry, has neither concluded the enquiry nor passed any orders on the representation submitted by the petitioners, I deem it appropriate to direct the 1st respondent to complete the enquiry, if not already completed, by issuing notice to the parties, and pass final orders in accordance with law. 5. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ____________ N.V.RAMANA,J 18.09.2008 v v
