THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO ORDER:

According to the petitioner, she owned land to an extent of Acres 0.63 cents in Survey No.507/2 of Sopirala Village, China Ganjam Mandal, Prakasam District. Earlier, during the lifetime of her husband, the very extent of land was mortgaged to Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society to obtain agricultural loan. However, according to the petitioner, in the I-B register, the extent of land is shown only as Acres 0.32 cents. Surprised and shocked by reflecting the less extents of land owned by the petitioner, petitioner filed application to the Mandal Surveyor to conduct survey. The Mandal Surveyor conducted the survey and submitted his report dated 05.06.2017 to the Tahsildar. According to the report of the Surveyor, the extent of land in possession of the petitioner is noticed as Acres 0.63 cents, justifying the claim of the petitioner. Alleging inaction to correct the revenue records, inspite of report submitted by the Mandal Surveyor as early as on 05.06.2017, this writ petition is filed. 2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that several requests and representations were made to correct the revenue records, but, so far the same is not carried out, causing lot of hardship and suffering. No representation/

application to rectify the entries in the revenue records is placed on record.

3.

Having regard to this, the counsel for the petitioner seeks leave of this Court to make appropriate application for rectification of the entries in the revenue records, duly taking note of the report of the Mandal Surveyor.

4.

Granting the above said liberty, this writ petition is disposed of. If any application is made and the Mandal Surveyor report is placed on record by the petitioner, the Tahsildar shall examine the same and pass appropriate orders as warranted by law, as expeditiously possible, preferably within eight weeks from the date of receipt of the application.

5.

Miscellaneous petitions pending consideration, if any, in this case shall stand closed in consequence. No order as to costs.
