After the death of their grand father the first petitioner submitted application on 22.03.2018 for issuance of pattadar passbooks and title deeds in respect of subject lands in their names. So far the respondent authorities have not acted on the same. Hence, this Writ Petition is filed. 3.

A copy of the application is enclosed at page No.13 of the material paper book. However, the respondent authorities are not accepting applications in physical form and insist for submission of such applications through online web portal of the State. Apparently, so far no such application is made by the petitioners. Thus, it cannot be said that the respondent authorities are negligent in not acting on the application made by the first petitioner.

The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of granting liberty to the petitioners to make application in Form VI-A through online web portal of the State Government and as and when such application is received, the competent authority shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law by
