Subsequently, on the basis of the report of the Mandal Revenue Inspector, it is stated that the original documents and link documents are not submitted by the petitioner and place of his residence is not known. Certain other observations are also made in the instructions about the said land being fit for house site and it is located in the municipal limits.
3. However, if the application of the petitioner is pending consideration and if any documents are required to be submitted, the first respondent could have given a notice to the petitioner requiring him to produce the documents. In any case, the learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner would approach the first respondent and submit the necessary documents.
In view of that, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the application of the petitioner together with the documents that would be submitted before him by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
