ORDER:
Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, Sri L.Ravinder, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Stamps and Registration.
2. Petitioners herein are own brothers. According to the petitioners, Smt. Juvineni Laxmi purchased the land admeasuring Ac.1.00 guntas in Sy.No.144/A situated at Bommakal Village, Karimnagar Rural Mandal, Karimnagar District, under a registered Sale Deed bearing document No.5532 of 1997, dated 12.09.1997. She has sold the land admeasuring Ac.0.20 guntas to the petitioners each under registered Sale Deeds bearing document Nos.3095 of 2001 and 3096 of 2001, both dated 28.05.2001. But in the old passbooks, survey number is wrongly mentioned as 144/C instead of Sy.No.144/A. Thus, there is wrong entry.
3. Therefore, petitioners have submitted representations dated 08.03.2021, 08.06.2021, 09.12.2024, 01.03.2024, 13.05.2025, 17.07.2025 and 09.06.2025 to respondent Nos.2 to 4 with a request to correct the said wrong entry. Despite receiving and acknowledging the said representations, respondent Nos.2 to 4 did not act upon the same. Aggrieved by the said inaction of respondent Nos.2 to 4, petitioners filed the present writ petition.
4. As per the Telangana Bhu Bharati (Record of Rights in Land) Rules, 2025 (for short ‘Rules, 2025’), petitioners have to submit online application to the Competent Authority in terms of Rule 7 of the Rules, 2025 as specified in Schedule A of the Rules, 2025 and as per valuation mentioned in Schedule B of the Rules, 2025 along with all the relevant documents with a request to correct the survey number. On receipt of said online application, the Competent Authority shall consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law. If the Competent Authority is not inclined to accept the request made by the petitioners, he shall assign specific reasons, pass a reasoned order and communicate the copy of the same to the petitioners. However, he shall complete the entire exercise within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such online application.
5. With the above observations, this Writ Petition is disposed of.
Miscellaneous applications, if any, pending shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
