ORDER:

¶34

This Writ Petition came to be filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, seeking the following prayer:

¶35

“to issue a Writ, Order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the inaction of the respondents in considering the applications of the petitioners submitted vide application Nos. ADLC011804695214 and ADLC011804695251, dt.18.05.2018 through Mee Seva for carrying out corrections in the survey number column of online adangal records in respect of land admeasuring 17.5 cents situated at Dagguvyaripalem Village, Pendurthi Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, as illegal, arbitrary and contrary to law and consequently direct the respondents to forthwith consider the applications submitted by the petitioners and carry out necessary corrections in accordance with law and to pass”

¶36

The petitioners herein along with one Karanam Prabhavathi purchased two extents of agricultural lands admeasuring Acs.0.71 cents situated in Sy.No.94/10 situated at Pendurthi village, Gopalapatna, Visakhapatnam district under registered sale deed dated 14.06.2006 vide document bearing No.3482 of 2006 from its rightful owners. Similarly, the petitioners purchased another extent of agricultural land admeasuring Acs.17.5 cents in Sy.No.94/6 situated at Dagguvyaripalem village, Pendurthi mandal, Visakhapatnam district by way of a registered sale deed dated 14.06.2006 vide document bearing No.3473/2006. Since the

¶38

¶39

date of purchase, the petitioners are in peaceful possession of the abovementioned properties.

¶40

While so, having identified that the survey numbers were wrongly mentioned in both the registered sale deeds, an amended sale deed was executed by the parties on 24.01.2017 vide document No.374/2017, dated 24.01.2017. After amendment, the petitioners approached the 2^nd respondent with a request to carry out necessary amendments in the online revenue records, by filing application bearing Nos.ADLC011804695214 and ADLC011804695251, dated 18.05.2018. As no action has been initiated by the respondent authorities, the present writ petition is filed.

¶41

Heard learned counsel on either side.

¶42

Though no counter affidavit has been filed by the respondents, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue has furnished a letter addressed by the 2^nd respondent bearing Rc.No.369/2026/A, dated 07.07.2026, wherein it is stated that till date, no speaking orders have been passed on the mutation applications bearing Nos.ADLC011804695214 and ADLC011804695251 submitted by the petitioners. It is further stated that the petitioners have an effective statutory remedy under the ROR Act, 1971 including filing a mutation application and if aggrieved by any order of the Tahsildar, by way of an appeal/revision before the competent authority. Without preferring the

¶44

VS,J W.P.No.20153 of 2018

¶45

same, the petitioners have straightaway approached this Court by way of the present writ petition.

¶46

Perused the entire material available on record. It can be seen from the instructions of the 2^nd respondent that when the petitioners submitted mutation applications on 18.05.2018 through Mee-Seva, it is the duty of the respondent authorities to pass speaking orders, in order to enable the petitioners to proceed further in accordance with law. Admittedly, no speaking orders were passed by the respondent authorities pursuant to the applications submitted by the petitioners.

¶47

In view of the same, instead of going into merits of the case, this writ petition is disposed of by directing the 2^nd respondent to pass speaking orders on the applications submitted by the petitioners on 18.05.2018 bearing Nos.ADLC011804695214 and ADLC011804695251 through Mee-Seva, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs.

¶48

Consequently, Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, pending in this Petition shall stand closed.
