Avula Srinivas v. The State Of Telangana,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE S.V.BHATT W.P. No.18504 of 2017 ORDER:

The petitioner complains against inaction of respondents in considering and disposing of application made under A.P.Rights in Land and Pattedar Pass Books Act, 1971. In other words, the petitioner complains against inaction of Tahsildar in doing needful on the representation filed by the petitioner.

Learned counsel for the petitioner places before the Court, the endorsement dated 14.06.2017 issued by Tahsildar. He contends that once the application is filed under the Act, the respondent is required to pass order, so that person aggrieved by the order can work out the remedies in accordance with law.

Issuing memo does not amount to disposing of the application pending before Tahsildar.

I have perused the record and taken note of the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner. This Court is of the view that since the application is entertained, the respondent No.3/Tahsildar passes an order under the Act and aggrieved person will work out remedies either before the statutory authorities or before civil Court.

Hence, the petitioner is given liberty to resubmit the representation within four (04) weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order and Tahsildar/3rd respondent is directed to dispose of the representation filed by petitioner within eight (8) weeks thereafter.

Writ petition is disposed of, accordingly. No order as to costs.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending, shall stand closed.
