It appears that the petitioner has already been issued an e-pattadar pass book on the strength of the existing pattadar pass book and title deed issued to her under the provisions of Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971. However, it is her complaint that some of the lands covered by the existing pattadar pass book and title deed were left out while preparing the e-pattadar pass book.

The petitioner's representation dated 01.02.2019 in this regard and the earlier representations dated 10.9.2018 and 05.11.2018 are still pending consideration before the authorities. It is not open to the revenue authorities to remain inactive upon such

SK, J WP.No.3575 of 2019 Dr:21.02.2019 applications when the petitioner's entitlement to avail the benefits of Government schemes would rest upon the e-pattadar pass book.
