Writ Petition No. 183 of 2022 (Special Original Jurisdiction), High Court for the State of Telangana at Hyderabad — Hon'ble Sri Justice E.V. Venugopal (single Judge), order dated 01-09-2025. Petitioner Sama Gopal Reddy (aged about 65), represented by Sri Suresh Poddar, had sought a writ of mandamus under Article 226 directing respondents 1 to 5 (State of Telangana revenue authorities, from the Chief Secretary down to the Tahsildar, Nawabpet) to rectify alleged wrong entries in the Dharani Portal in respect of his lands (total extent Ac.1.13 gts.) at Mubarakpur (v), Nawabpet (M), Vikarabad District, by deleting the name of the 6th respondent Raju Mangali and entering the petitioner as pattedar with issuance of an e-Pass Book-cum-title deed; I.A. No. 1 of 2022 under Section 151 CPC sought substitution of the petitioner's name in the Portal. The Court observed that there was no representation for the petitioner on 18.08.2025 and 25.08.2025, and again none on the date of the order, indicating lack of interest in prosecuting the case. Accordingly the writ petition was dismissed for non-prosecution, with no order as to costs, and pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, stood dismissed. No substantive adjudication of the Dharani-entry grievance took place; the substantive issue remained undecided.
