The petitioner approached the third respondent and filed an application under Section 5(1)(b) of A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (the Act, for brevity) requesting to issue Pattadar Pass Books (PPBs) and title deeds. Though the application was made on 05.7.2006, no enquiry was initiated. Therefore, the present writ petition is filed. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General- T), after getting instructions, submits that the land claimed by the petitioner has already been assigned to third parties. The petitioner is aged 95 years. Though she was assigned land in 1970, she approached the third respondent only in July 2006. Therefore, this Court observes that the third respondent may conduct necessary enquiry under the provisions of the Act and A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Rules, 1989, and pass necessary orders duly communicating the same to the petitioner. This exercise may be completed within a period of twelve (12) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of.
