- 2 - THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No.13399 OF 2018 ORDER :

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. 2.

Petitioner being a landless poor was assigned land to an extent of Ac.0.12 cents in Sy.No.39/10 and Ac.0.62 cents in Sy.No.39/11 of Vedullanarava village, Sabbavaram Mandal, Visakhapatnam. The said lands were assigned to him through Dform patta dated 18.01.1988 and ever since he was in possession of the same. Petitioner claims that he was assigned lands along with others. He claims that as the D-form patta was issued to him in the year 1988 some local leaders started interfering with his possession. Petitioner claims to have made an application on 16.05.2017 for issuance of pattadar passbook and title deeds in respect of the above lands. So far the respondent authorities have not acted on the same. Hence, this Writ Petition is filed. 3.

Photo copy of the application is enclosed at page No.14 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 petitioner. Thus, it cannot be said that the respondent authorities are negligent in not acting on the application made by him. 4.

The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to make application in Form VI-A through online web portal of the State Government and as and when such

- 3 - application is received, the competent authority shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law by assigning due reasons in support of the decision and communicate the same to the petitioner, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of such application. There shall be no order as to costs.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition shall stand closed.
