...RESPONDENT(S): Counsel for the Petitioner:
1. K MOHAN RAMI REDDY Counsel for the Respondent(S):
1. GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following order:
Heard Sri K.Mohan Rami Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents.
2. Despite service of notice, none appeared for the unofficial respondent Nos.5 to 8.
3. The instant writ petition is filed challenging the action of respondent No.3 in issuing the impugned notice dated 13.04.2022, refusing to mutate the name of the petitioner in the revenue records as well as in the web portal, in respect of land to the extent of Ac.1.60 cents in Sy.No.554/1B, Bethamcherla Village and Mandal, Nandyal District.
4. It is contended that the petitioner’s father purchased the subject property of an extent of Ac.1.60 cents in Sy.No.554/1B and Ac.12.45 cents in Sy.No.552/2, Bethamcherla Village and Mandal, Nandyal District vide registered sale deed bearing Doc. No.1393 of 1960 dated 08.08.1960. During his lifetime, he was in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the property. After the death of the petitioner’s father, the petitioner has continued peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject property. Later, on application made by the petitioner before the revenue authorities, Pattadar Pass Book and Title Deed were issued in favour of the petitioner, and the name of the petitioner was also incorporated in the revenue records.
5. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner contends that although the revenue authorities issued Pattadar Pass Books and Title Deeds, the Government's web portal has not been updated in the said regard. After noticing the same, the petitioner has made an application to the respondents to change the petitioner's name on the portal. As no orders were passed on the said application, the petitioner approached this Court by way of Writ Petition in W.P.No.2205 of 2022. The said writ petition was disposed of on 01.02.2022. Pursuant to the directions issued by this Court, the respondents passed the impugned order refusing to mutate the name of the petitioner.
6. Learned Counsel for the petitioner contends that before passing the impugned order, an enquiry was conducted; however, no opportunity was given to the petitioner by the 4th respondent. It is further contended that the impugned order appears to have been passed by the Tahsildar in his personal capacity and does not reflect the discharge of functions of a quasi-judicial authority.
7. A perusal of the impugned order reveals that an enquiry was conducted by the revenue authorities pursuant to the application filed by the petitioner for mutation. However, it does not appear that the petitioner was put on notice before arrival of the recognition that mutation cannot be effected.
8. Having regard to the same, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition by setting aside the impugned proceedings and remanding the matter to the 4th respondent.
9. Accordingly, the 4th respondent is directed to pass orders, in accordance with law, after giving due opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
10. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed.
