It is the case of the petitioner that her husband, by name, Devineni Venkat Rao, was the absolute owner and possessor of land to an extent of Ac.0.16 guntas in Survey No.731/2 situated at Suryapet Revenue Village Shivar, Suryapet Mandal. The said land was mutated in the name of her husband and his name was also recorded in Dharani portal as pattadar in respect of

the said land. However, after death of her husband, the petitioner is cultivating the subject land without any interruption. Therefore, the petitioner made online application No.LM2200016957 seeking mutation of her name in the revenue records in respect of the subject and also for issuance of e-pattadar passbook. However, the said application is not being considered by the respondents and the same is pending till date.

5.

Since the name of the petitioner's deceased husband is reflecting in Dharani portal as pattadar in respect of the subject land, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondent No.2 to consider the online application No.LM2200016957 submitted by the petitioner seeking mutation of her name in the revenue records and for issuance of e-pattadar passbook in respect of land admeasuring Ac.0.16 guntas in Survey No.731/2 situated at Suryapet Revenue Village Shivar, Suryapet Mandal and
