...RESPONDENTS The Court made the following:
ORDER:
Heard.
2. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that though he was granted pattadar passbooks, title deeds with respect to his lands in S.No.405-4-1 an extent of Ac.0-64 cents, S.No.429-1 an extent of Ac.0-80 cents, S.No.432-1 an extent of AC.0-62 cents, S.No.497-1 an extent of AC.5-59 cents, S.No.502-1 an extent of AC.2-00 cents, S.No.510-2 an extent of Ac.1-51 cents and S.No.512 and extent of Ac.5-73 cents, are not being granted by respondent No.3.
3. Learned Government Pleader, who had taken instructions in the matter, submits, on that basis, that the lands to the extent of S.Nos.405, 429 and 432, as claimed by the petitioner, are verified and found to be patta lands, whereas the other lands claimed by the petitioner, which are shown in the dot marks in the Resurvey and Resettlement Register of Chennayapalem Village, were not granted to freedom fighters or ex- servicemen. Hence, it is stated that to the extent of granting title deeds for patta lands, there is no objection for the Revenue Divisional Officer.
4. In the circumstances, since there is no objection for respondent No.3 to furnish title deeds to the petitioner to the extent of patta lands in survey Nos.405, 429 and 432, with the respective extents, as claimed by the petitioner, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondent No.3 to issue title deeds to the petitioner in that respect, as early as possible, and communicate the reasons as to why the title deeds with regard to the rest of the extents is not being furnished to him. Petitioner is at liberty to seek appropriate remedy under law, if the title deeds to the other extents is not granted to him for any reason as mentioned by the Revenue Divisional Officer.
With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
