THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE CHALLA KODANDA RAM WRIT PETITION No. 20315 OF 2019 O R D E R:

The grievance of the petitioner precisely in this Writ Petition is that though he submitted an Application in Form-VI (A) on 18.05.2016 for issuance of pattadar pass books and title deeds in respect of the land admeasuring Acs.2.14 guntas in Survey No.166/18 situated at Bowrampet Village, Quthbullapur Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, respondent No.3-Mandal Revenue Officer, Quthbullapur Mandal, Ranga Reddy District (now Medchal-Malkajgiri District) has not acted thereon. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. It is appropriate to notice that in terms of Section 4 of the A.P.

Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 (for short, 'the Act'), any person acquiring, by succession or survivorship or inheritance or by partition or by way of a decree from a Court any right as owner, pattadar, mortgagee, occupant or tenant of a land, shall intimate, in writing, his/her acquisition of such right to the Mandal Revenue Officer within 90 days from the date of such acquisition and then, the Mandal Revenue Officer shall give an acknowledgment of the receipt of such intimation.

amendments in the Record of Rights in accordance with such determination. It will also be appropriate to notice that Rules were also framed in 1989 for giving effect to the provisions of the Act and as per Rule 9, after due completion of enquiry, the recording authority shall pass orders in respect of cases requiring change of registry necessitated by succession, when it is not disputed. Form VI (A) is prescribed as the proper form for intimation of acquisition of rights in terms of Section 4 of the Act, as per sub-rule (2) of Rule 18 of the Rules.

Inasmuch as the petitioner had submitted the Application in the prescribed format i.e., Form VI (A), this Court deems it appropriate to direct respondent No.3 to consider the same and pass appropriate orders, within a period of three months from today, in exercise of the powers under Section 5 of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.

With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs.

Consequently, the miscellaneous petitions, if any shall also stand disposed of.
