THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE E.V.VENUGOPAL WRIT PETITION No.31239 OF 2025

ORDER :

This Writ Petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not mutating the names of the petitioners in the revenue records and in not issuing Pattadar Passbooks in respect of the land admeasuring Ac. 1.06 guntas in Sy. No. 110 and land admeasuring Ac. 0.19 guntas in Sy. No. 18, situated at Siddapuram Village, Hasanparthy Mandal, Warangal District (hereinafter referred to as the "subject property"), as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently to direct the respondents to mutate the names of the petitioners in the revenue records and issue Pattadar Passbooks in respect of the subject property.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners claim to be the owners of the subject property, having inherited it through their father, late Bokka Buchaiah, who purchased the same through a registered sale deed dated 05.02.1965 from one Nallakonda Laxma Rao @ Laxmaiah. Since the date of purchase, the petitioners’ father was in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the property, and after his demise, the petitioners have been cultivating the same without any interference from third parties. However, their names have not been mutated in the revenue records, and Pattadar Passbooks have not been issued in their favour. Consequently, they made a representation on 10.09.2025 requesting the respondent authorities to mutate their names in the revenue records and to issue Pattadar Passbooks in respect of the subject property. Despite receipt and acknowledgment of the said representation, no action has been taken by the respondents. Hence, the petitioners seek appropriate directions from this Court.

3. On the other hand, Sri L. Ravinder, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, upon instructions, submits that the petitioners are required to file an online application as per Rule 7 of the Bhu Bharathi Rules, 2025 (for short, "the Rules, 2025"). He further submits that since the petitioners have not submitted such an application in the prescribed manner under the Rules, 2025, the respondent authorities are not in a position to consider their request. However, he submits that if the petitioners file the online application as required, the respondent authorities will consider the same and pass appropriate orders.

4. Recording the submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, liberty is granted to the petitioners to file an online application in accordance with Rule 7 of the Rules, 2025. Upon such filing, the respondent authorities are directed to consider the same strictly in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible, within the time frame prescribed under the Rules, 2025

5. With the above direction, this Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending, shall stand dismissed.
