THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
WRIT PETITION NO.9338 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 preferably a Writ in the nature of Mandamus holding the action of the 4th respondent in not issuing pattadar pass book and title deed in favour of the petitioner for the lands admeasuring an extent of Ac.5.30 cents in Survey No.134/1 (old survey No.184), Ac.0.95 cents in survey No.135-1(old survey No.180-1), Ac.1.73 cents in survey No.135-2 (old survey No.180-2), Ac.0.40 cents in survey No.144-3 (old survey No.94-7).

5) fallen under T.D.No.1552, situated in Thatituru village, Bheemunipatnam Mandal, Visakhapatnam District is illegal, arbitrary and contrary to the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Book Act and consequently direct the respondents to issue pattadar pass book and title
deed in favour of the petitioner for the above said lands."
2. Though the petitioner made several allegations against
the respondents, during hearing, the learned counsel for the
petitioner requested this Court without touching the merits of
the case, to issue a direction to the respondents to dispose of
the representation of the petitioner, dated 09.04.2021.
3. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue readily agreed
to dispose of the representation of the petitioner if any, pending
with the respondents authorities.
4. In view of 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 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 not service to the cause of justice. As
the learned counsel for the petitioner himself requested to
dispose of the representation of the petitioner, dated
09.04.2021, I find no other alternative except to issue such
direction.
5. In the result, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the
respondent authorities to dispose of the representation of the
petitioner, dated 09.04.2021, in accordance with law, within
2019 (8) SCALE 544
four (4) weeks from today. There shall be no order as to costs of
the Writ petition.
The miscellaneous petitions pending, if any in the Writ
Petition, shall also stand closed.
