.....Respondents The Court made the following:

- 2 - THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION NO.23936 OF 2019 ORDER:

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

Petitioner claims that his mother owned land to an extent of Ac.2-10 guntas in Sy.No.2/AA1 of Dindi (Gundlapally) Village and Mandal, Nalgonda District, bearing Katha No.588. However, in the revenue records only Ac.0-24 guntas is shown in the name of petitioner and pass book was also issued to that extent only. Petitioner alleges that inspite of making several representations, so far no decision is made and no survey is conducted. A representation was made to the District Collector, Joint Collector and Mandal Revenue Officer/Tahsildar, on 25.09.2019 enclosing the relevant documents. Alleging inaction, on the said representation, this writ petition is filed. 3.

From the representations made, it is apparent that petitioner has two fold grievance. Firstly, that extent of land belonging to his mother is not fully shown in the name of petitioner, but only Ac.0-24 guntas is shown and secondly that a survey is required to demarcate the extent of land. 4.

As per the procedure evolved by Government a person seeking mutation or correction of revenue records has to make application in Form VI-A and such application should be made through online web portal. Similarly, if a person wants a survey to be conducted, he must make an application in F-Line mode. Apparently, no such applications are made but only representations are made. Therefore, it cannot be said that the

- 3 - respondent authorities are negligent in acting on the representations of the petitioner.

5.

Having regard to the same, the Writ Petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to make applications in prescribed forms for mutation/correction of revenue records and for conducting of survey. As and when such applications are made, the respondent authorities shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders as warranted by law and communicate the same to the petitioner within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of those applications. Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed.
