It is further stated that the revenue authorities have mutated his name in the revenue records only to an extent of Ac.0.39 guntas, while petitioner is the absolute owner and peaceful possessor of land admeasuring Ac.1.38 guntas in the pattadar passbook issued in his favour under the provisions of the Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbook Act, 2020 (for short “the ROR Act, 2020”). It is submitted that petitioner submitted online application vide No.2400034422, dated 28.05.2024 seeking for correction of the revenue entries and consequential issuance of e-pattadar pass book in respect of the subject land.

4. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondents has submitted that ROR Act, 2020 has been repealed and replaced with Telangana Bhu Bharati (Record of Rights in Land) Act, 2025 (for short “the Act 1 of 2025”) and if the petitioner submits online application in the prescribed format in Bhu Bharati Web Portal and if the same fulfills all the requirements of the Act 1 of 2025 and the Rules made thereunder, the respondent authorities will consider the same, in accordance with law.

5. In view of the above submissions, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition permitting the petitioner to make appropriate online application in the prescribed format in Bhu Bharati Web Portal, seeking correction of entries in the revenue records and for issuance of pattadar passbooks in respect of subject lands. In the event of such application being made by the petitioner and if the same fulfills all the requirements under the provisions of the Act 1 of 2025 and the Rules made thereunder, the respondent-authorities shall examine and consider the case of the petitioner. In any event, if the application of the petitioner does not fulfill the requirements of the Act 1 of 2025
