Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.CH.CKRISHNA REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court, at the admission stage, made the following: ORDER: The petitioners claim to be owners and possessors of lands in R.S.No.127/5, extent Ac.0.29 cents; R.S.No.127/6, extent Ac.0.31 cents; R.S.No.127/7, extent Ac.0.03 cents; R.S.No.127/8, extent Ac.0.68 cents; R.S.No.127/9, extent Ac.0.38 cents; R.S.No.115/1, extent Ac.0.72 cents; R.S.No.127/10, extent Ac.0.14 cents; R.S.No.115/2, extent Ac.12.65 cents; and R.S.No.114/5, extent Ac.4.09 cents of Kunchepalli village, Podili Mandal, Prakasam District, having inherited the same from their ancestors under Ryotwari patta granted on 28.2.1967 by the Additional Settlement Officer, Nellore. The grievance of the petitioners is that they made a representation, dated 21.12.2004 before the 3rd respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer seeking to mutate their names in the revenue records and to issue pattadar passbooks and title deeds in respect of the lands in question. But, so far no action has been taken. Hence, they filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Both counsel agreed to dispose of the writ petition at the admission stage itself with a direction to the 3rd respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer to consider the representation of the petitioners and pass appropriate orders. Since the representation of the petitioners dated 21.12.2004 is said to be pending consideration before the 3rd respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer to consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law. No costs. _______________ (N.V. RAMANA, J) Date: 30.12.2004 Nsr/Tvk .....
