No. 595/1 to an extent of Ac.0.30 cents respectively of Musunuru Grama Panchayat limits, Kavali Mandal and Municipality, SPSR Nellore District.” 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue for the respondents. 3. Though the petitioner made several allegations against the respondents, during hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner requested this Court, without touching the merits of the case, to issue a direction to the respondents to dispose of the applications dated 16.02.2025 and 02.05.2025 filed by the petitioner. m 3 4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue has th furnished a copy of the written instructions issued by the 4 respondent. Relevant paragraphs of the said instructions read as follows;- It Is also deserving to mention here that Smt Neelapareddy Venkamma who conveyed the subject land to Neelapareddy Kondareddy her 2"'^ son through unregistered ‘WILL’ on 16.05.1993 was died on 05.11.1992 i.e., much prior to execution of will in favour of Neelapareddy Kondareddy. For this reason, the WILL said to have been executed by Neelapareddy Venkamma is not valid in the eyes of law and as such the further partition deed is also not valid. 11. The petitioner is claiming right over the 0.30 cents of land in Sy.No.595-1. On the other hand Sri Neelapareddy Konda Reddy is also claiming right over the same property. As the title over the entire subject land is not flown either to Neelapareddy Sankara Reddy father of the petitioner or to Sri Neelapareddy Konda Reddy uncle of the petitioner (Father’s Younger brother) as per the provisions of Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the circumstances of the case forced this respondent to reject the mutation application filed by the petitioner as suspicion arose about the bonafides of the said WILL as well as partition deed. Thus, this is a purely civil dispute and the remedy available to the petitioner Is to approach competent civil Court of law In the matteT’. 12. 5. In view of the written instructions furnished by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, this Court need 4 not decide the 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.Venkatesh^”, 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 applications dated 16.02.2025 and 02.05.2025, this Court find no other alternative except to issue such direction. 6. In the result, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to consider and dispose of the applications dated 16.02.2025 and 02.05.2025 filed by the petitioner, after providing opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned, within a period of two (02) 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. 12019(8) scale 544 Sd/- K.
