THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No.27756 OF 2019 ORDER:

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

Petitioners allege that their grandfather Surimilla Bhemaiah was given Lavoni Patta in the year 1961 in respect of land to an extent of Ac.1.10 guntas in Survey No.42/19/1 of Naspur Village and Mandal, Mancherial District. After death of their grandfather, petitioners father succeeded the said property and was in possession and enjoyment of the same. Petitioners further allege that after death of their father, they have applied for mutation of their names in the revenue records and for issuance of pattadar passbooks on 18.11.2019. Alleging inaction on the said application, this Writ Petition is filed. 3.

A copy of the application/representation dated 18.11.2019 seeking issuance of pattadar passbooks is enclosed as Ex.P1 at page No.10 of the Writ Petition material paper book. However, as per the procedure evolved by the Government, mutation exercise has to be in accordance with Form VI-A through online web portal. No representation made in physical form is normally accepted. Admittedly, petitioners have not made application in Form VI-A through online web portal. Therefore, it cannot be said that the Tahsildar is negligent in acting upon the application of the petitioners.

4.

The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of granting liberty to the petitioners to make an application through online web portal requesting the Tahsildar to mutate their names in the revenue records. Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed.
