Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Assistant Government Pleader for the respondents. 3. Though the petitioners made several allegations against the respondents, during hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners requested this Court, without touching the merits of the case, to issue a direction to the respondents to dispose of the application ■y 5 submitted by the petitioners seeking for mutation and issuance of pattadar pass books. 4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for the respondents furnished written instructions dated 27.06.2025 issued by the 4^*^ respondent, wherein it is stated as follows; "The impugned mention about 3''^ respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Kanigiri proceedings dated 17.05.2025 is not an a direction or order issued and it was formal course of action and a letter form of intimation about fact that Tahsildar, Marripudi is a decision maker being recording authority for issue of pattadar pass books. The final action is going to be taken on the pending mutation claims in respect of Sy. No. 990/1 of Marripudi Village and Mandal filed by writ petitioners. In the meantime, the petitioner herein invoked the extraordinary jurisdiction of Hon’ble High Court which in unjust and unwarranted, in terms of orders of Hon’ble High Court dated 17.09.2021 in similar W.P.No.20392/2021 i.e., present case would attract none of the conditions to entertain writ of mandamus. ” 5. In view of the written instructions submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for the respondents, this Court need 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 6 1 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 petitioners himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of the application filed by the petitioners seeking mutation and for issuance of pattadar pass books, 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 application filed by the petitioners seeking for mutation and for issuance of pattadar pass books with reference to the proceedings dated 17.05.2025 issued by the 3’’'^ respondent and in accordance with the provisions of the A.P. Right in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, after providing opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned, within a period of three(3) 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. T2019(8) SCALE 544 Sd/- K.
