HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.BHASKAR REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7634 of 2025

ORDER:

The present writ petition is filed praying this Court to declare the action of respondent Nos.2 to 4 in not considering and disposing of the online application No.2500010291, dated 17.02.2025 and not-initiating to trace out the missing land of the petitioner to an extent of Acs.2.00 guntas in Sy.No.66/2/a, situated at Raidurg Nowkhalsa Village, Sherilingampally Mandal, Rangareddy District, and consequential issuance of e-pattadar passbook, as illegal and arbitrary and for other appropriate reliefs.

2. It is stated that the petitioner and his co-purchaser are the absolute owners and possessors of the land to an extent of Acs.2.00 guntas in Sy.No. Sy.No.66/2/a, situated at Raidurg Nowkhalsa Village, Sherilingampally Mandal, Rangareddy District, having purchased the same under the registered sale deed bearing document No.2289 of 1998, dated 02.12.1998 and since then he is in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the same. It is stated that the petitioner and his co-purchaser approached the revenue authorities and made an application under Section Form-6 (A) of ROR Act and after conducting enquiry and panchanama, the revenue authorities recommended for mutation. It is further stated that since the respondent authorities have not mutated his name in the revenue records, he made an online application bearing No.2500010291, dated 17.02.2025 through the Dharani Portal but the same was not considered by the respondent authorities.

Hence, this writ petition.

3. Considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the respective parties and with their consent, this writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage.

4. It is settled principle of law that the parties are not entitled to seek correction of revenue entries after long lapse of time and the parties have to approach the authorities within a reasonable period, though the statute has not prescribed any time limit. In the instant case, the petitioner has purchased the subject property under the registered sale deed bearing document No.2289 of 1998, dated 02.12.1998, therefore, the petitioner would have taken steps by filing an application under the provisions of the Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 (for short “the ROR Act, 1971”), for incorporation of his name in the revenue records and consequential issuance of pattadar passbook at the earliest point of time. Further, the petitioner has not even taken steps when the Government has introduced the updation of the revenue records. Prima facie application submitted by the petitioner is not in consonance with the provisions of the Telangana Land Revenue Act, 1317 Fasli; the ROR Act, 1971 and the ROR Act, 2020. Therefore, this Court is of the opinion that the writ petition is liable to be dismissed on the sole ground for delay and latches. However, liberty is given to the petitioner to agitate his grievances before the competent civil Court.

5. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs.

6. As a sequel, the miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
