Akula Krishna Rao, v. The State Of Telangana, Rep. By Its Principal Secretary,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE CHALLA KODANDA RAM WRIT PETITION No. 5014 of 2015 ORDER:

The writ petitioners question the action of respondents in not considering the representation dated 17.02.2014 with regard to correction of entries in pahanis of the years 2001-2002 to 2014-2015.

2. The facts in brief are that one Late Kistam Nagaiah owned Ac.6.20 guntas in Survey No.361 of Mulkalpalli village and mandal, Khammam district; and the property came to be partitioned among themselves by his four sons and three daughters. The father of the 1st petitioner by name Late Akula Venkaiah married one Late Akula Venkamma, and thereafter he married one Late Akula Gopamma and was blessed with the 1st petitioner herein and Late Akula Laxminarayana (the writ petitioner in W.P.No.5002 of 2015). Both Akula Venkamma and Akula Gopamma were issued pattadar passbooks and title deeds pertaining to the land in Survey No.361 over an extent of Ac.1-20 guntas each. A Will dated 05.11.2001 was executed by Late Akula Venkamma and Late Akula Gopamma bequeathing Ac.1-20 guntas in Survey No.361/E to the 1st petitioner and Ac.

1-20 guntas in Survey No.361/AA to Akula Laxminarayana. The lands were looked after by the 2nd petitioner-Kistam Rambabu. The revenue authorities entered the name of the 2nd petitioner in Column No.16 in the revenue records though he was only a custodian of the lands in question. Noticing the discrepancy, the 1st and 2nd petitioners approached the Tahsildar seeking correction of entries in Column No.16. Though more than one year passed, no action is taken till date.

3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader submits that the writ petition may be disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the representation and pass orders, after issuance of notice to the parties concerned.

4. Considering the prayer in the writ petition, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of by directing the 2nd respondent to examine the representation made by the petitioner and, after issuance of notice to the concerned parties, pass necessary orders in accordance with law.

5. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending in this writ petition, shall stand closed.
