3. It is contended that the patta was granted in the year 1992 in favour of petitioner’s maternal uncle namely one Sake Pedda Narayana over an extent of Ac.4.20 cents in Sy.No.79 at Gotlur Revenue Village, Dharamavaram

Mandal, Sri Sathya Sai District. The said land was bequeathed to the petitioner a legal will executed by the said assignee in the year 2010. Since then, the petitioner has in possession and enjoyment of the said property. However, the name of the petitioner was never mutated in the revenue records.

4. The petitioner had approached the authorities on 08.01.2024 seeking change of classification of the land from “Vanka Poramboke” and issuance of 1-B and Adangal in her name. Since the said representation dated 08.01.2024 was not considered by the Mandal Revenue Officer, the petitioner has approached this Court by way of the instant writ petition.

5. Today, when the matter was taken up for consideration, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue placed before this Court a copy of the written remarks received from the 4th respondent, dated 06.05.2026. A perusal of the same would reflect that the representation dated 08.01.2024, said to have been submitted by the petitioner, was not received by the Mandal Revenue Officer. It is stated that the classification of the subject land in the revenue records is shown as “Vanka Poramboke” (water course) and that the land was never mutated in the name of the petitioner. It is further stated that the petitioner cannot seek substitution of her name in respect of the said land.

6. Without going into the merits of the case, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the Mandal Revenue Officer to consider the copy of the representation dated 08.01.2024

annexed to the writ petition as a fresh representation of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders, within a period of two (02) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

7. It is made clear that the petitioner shall furnish a copy of the representation dated 08.01.2024 to the Mandal Revenue Officer to enable him to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.

8. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs.

As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. ______________________________ JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA Date: 07.05.2026 BSK
