ORDER

This writ petition is filed seeking the following relief:

“to issue an order or direction more particularly one in

the nature of writ of mandamus or any other appropriate

writ declaring the action of the respondent authorities in

not issuing E-Pattadar pass books cum title books in

favour of the petitioner in respect of Sy.No.477B

admeasuring Acs.0.01gts. Considering the application

submitted by the petitioner dated 25.03.2023 online

Prajavani Registration No.RJ034/E/2023/00001, dated

13.06.2023, Dharani portal UL230005307 is nothing but

arbitrary, illegal, null and void and violative of principles

of natural justice and also against the provisions of the

Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act,

2020. Consequently, direct the Respondent authorities to

issue New E-Pattadar Passbooks cum title books in favour

of the petitioner in regarding with his land in Sy.No.447/B

2

admesuring Ac.0.01 gts situated at Siricilla village, Sircilla

Mandal Rajnna Siriclla District”

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner’s

father was issued Form 13-A under Section 5-A(2) read with Rule

22(5)(i) in respect of land bearing Survey No.531/C admeasuring

Acs.0.06 guntas and Survey No. 477/B admeasuring Acs.0.02 guntas.

The said proceedings were issued in relation to a sale transaction dated

16.08.1971. It is further submitted that the petitioner has been making

consistent efforts to have the said land mutated in his favour by

submitting representations to Respondent No.4. However, no action

has been taken by Respondent No.4. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner

filed an application under Prajavani, bearing Registration No.

RJ034/E/2023/00001 dated 13.06.2023, which was duly

acknowledged.

2.1. Despite the same, the petitioner’s request for issuance of

Pattadar Pass Books in respect of land bearing Survey No. 447/B

admeasuring Acs.0.01 guntas under Khata No. 423, as well as the

application submitted through the Dharani Portal vide Application No.

UL2300005307, remains unattended. The status of the said application

is shown as “In Progress”, but no further action has been taken till

3

date. Aggrieved thereby, this writ petition is filed and he would seek

to pass appropriate orders.

3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue on the

other hand would submit that name of Smt. Kasarpu Bala Laxmi is

recorded as pattadar for Acs.0.02 guntas from the year 2014-15 and

said land is already used for non agricultural purposes for house-site

plots and the property is no longer agricultural property. Hence, the

case of the petitioner does not deserve any consideration and hence,

would seek to dismiss this writ petition.

4. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue and upon perusal of the

material placed on record, this court is seized of the fact that the status

of petitioners application in Dharani Portal is under progress in respect

of land to an extent of Acs.0.01 guntas out of Survey No.477/B and

his prajavani application has already been acknowledged vide

RJ034/E/2023/00001.

5. In such circumstances, without going into the merits and

demerits of the case, this Court deems it appropriate to direct

respondent No.4 to examine the case of the petitioner and pass

appropriate orders, by issuing notice to all the concerned and by

4

affording sufficient opportunity of hearing, as expeditiously as

possible and communicate the same to the petitioner.

6. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no

order as to costs.

Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
