THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
WRIT PETITION NO.12112 OF 2021
ORDER:
This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking the following relief:-
"....to issue a Writ Order or Direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of 4th respondent in not deciding petitioner's applications dated 29-05-2019, 03-10-2019 and 01-04-2020, submitted through Mee-seva for rectification of online entries in 1-B (ROR) and Adangal Pahani connected to her agricultural land of Ac.4-41 cents in Sy.No.355 of Thokapalli Revenue Village in Peddaraveedu Mandal of Prakasam District and for granting e-pattadar passbook and title deed in conformity thereof, as illegal, irregular, irrational and amounts to non-discharge of legal obligation conferred under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 and rules framed thereunder and offends Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the 4th respondent to mutate petitioner's name in all web land record of rights in conformity with her pattadar passbook and title deed and pass such other order."
2. Though the petitioner made several allegations against the respondents, during hearing, Ms. Nimmagadda Revathi, learned counsel for the petitioner limited her request to direct the 4th respondent to dispose of the applications, dated 29-05-2019, 03-10-2019 and 01-04-2020 submitted by the petitioner, without touching the merits of the case.
3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondents 1 to 4 readily agreed to dispose of the applications, dated 29-05-2019, 03-10-2019 and 01-04-2020 submitted by the petitioner, if any, pending with the respondent-authorities.
4. Recording the submission of the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, I need not decide the truth or otherwise of the allegations made in the petition. This Court is conscious that no 2 such direction be issued, in view of the judgment of the Apex Court in "The Government of India v. P.Venkatesh1", wherein the Apex Court held that such orders may make for a quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory institutions. But, they do no service to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioner herself requested to issue a direction to the 4th respondent to dispose of the applications, dated 29-05-2019, 03-10-2019 and 01-04-2020 submitted by the petitioner, I find no other alternative, except to issue such direction.
5. In the result, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the 4th respondent to dispose of the applications, dated 29-05-2019, 03-10-2019 and 01-04-2020 submitted by the petitioner, in accordance with law, if they are pending, within four (04) weeks from today. There shall be no order as to costs.
As a sequel miscellaneous application, pending, if any, shall also stand closed.
