"...to issue a Writ, order or directions, more
particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus,
declaring the inaction of the 4th respondent in not
mutating petitioners names into revenue records and issuing E-Patta Passbooks and Title Deed in spite of Meeseva application under Section 6-A and Online application No.RMU012208489169, dated.16-03-2022, under statute in respect of petitioners land in Sy.No.781/J1 an extent of Ac.0.11 cents, situated at Joharapuram, Ward No.69, Kallur Village fields, Kallur Mandal, Kurnool District, simply uploading in website rejected on 20-04-2022, which is illegal, arbitrary, unjust, violation of the Andhra Pradesh right in Land & Pattadar Pass-books Act, 1971, principles of natural justice and Articles 14 & 300-A of the Constitution of India, and consequently set aside the online rejection dated 20.04.2022, further direct the respondents to mutate petitioners names into revenue records and issue E-Patta Passbooks and Title Deed duly considering their Meeseva application under Section 6- A and Online Application No.RMU012208489169, dated 16.03.2022, in respect of above subject land, with all consequential benefits or otherwise Petitioners herein will suffer serious finance loss and great hardship."
2. Heard both the counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents.
3. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that though an Application dated 16.03.2022 was submitted by the petitioners to the respondents for issuance of Pattadar Pass Book-cum-Title Deed and mutation of petitioners' name in online webland record of rights, with regard to subject land, the respondents without assigning or recording any reasons in writing, simply rejected the same on 20.04.2022. Hence this petition.
4. A perusal of the rejection orders issued by the respondents, makes it clear that the respondents, without assigning any reasons therefor, have rejected the application of the petitioners. In view of the orders of this High Court issued in WP.No.18116 of 2020, wherein, it is held that "in view of law laid down by the Apex Court in catena of judgments, it is the obligation of the authorities, who passes the order either on the administrative side or quasi judicial side, to record reasons; it is a guide for appellate authority to dispose of the case, in case any appeal is filed. The order passed by the authorities must disclose reasons much less sufficient reasons", the respondents are directed to consider the application made by the petitioners, dated 16.03.2022, afresh and dispose of the same within four weeks from today, by giving reasons much less sufficient reasons.
5. With the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of.
Miscellaneous Petitions, if any pending, in this Writ Petition, shall stand closed.
