THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA
WRIT PETITION NO: 8496/2025
ORDER:
This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of the India seeking the following reliefs:-
“to issue a writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of Respondent No.2 in not responding and not considering the F-Line application submitted by the petitioner through Mee- seva for the survey of the petitioner’s subject property in Sy.No.820/A-1 in H Muravani Village, Peddakadabur Mandal, Kurnool District to an extent of Ac.1.07 Cents as illegal, arbitrary, unjust and contrary to the Fundamental Rights enshrined under the Constitution of India and violation of Articles 14 and 300-A of the constitution of India and direct the Respondent No.2 to process the petitioner’s application and carryout the survey and fix the boundaries within a stipulated time following due procedure as per Section 5 (1) (III) of A.P. Rights in Lands and Pattadar Passbook Act, 1971 and Andhra Pradesh Survey and Boundaries Act, 1923 and pass such other order.”
2. Though the petitioner made several allegations against the respondents, during hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner requested this Court, to issue a direction to the respondents to dispose of the F-line application dated 17.10.2024 filed by the petitioner.
3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue readily agreed to dispose of the F-line application dated 17.10.2024, if any pending with the respondents.
4. In view of the submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, this Court need not decide the
3
truth or otherwise of the allegations made in the petition. This Court is conscious that no such direction be issued, in view of the
judgment of the Apex Court in “The Government of India v. P.Venkatesh1”, wherein the Apex Court held that such orders may make for a quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory institutions. But, they do not serve to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioner himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of the F-line application dated 17.10.2024, this Court find no other alternative except to issue such direction.
5. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to consider and dispose of the F-line application dated 17.10.2024 filed by the petitioner in accordance with law, within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs.
As a sequel miscellaneous application, pending, if any, shall also stand closed.
