For which, the 4th respondent issued pattadar pass book and title deed in favour of the petitioner and mutated the name of the petitioner in the revenue records on 24.07.2023 in respect of the subject lands. While so, to the surprise of the petitioner, respondent No.4 mutated the name of respondent No.5 as pattadar in the revenue records in respect of lands in Sy.Nos.130-A and 103-B. Immediately, the petitioner herein made an application dated 07.02.2025 seeking deletion of the name of respondent No.5 and to mutate the name of the petitioner in the revenue records in respect of the subject property. Even after receipt of the said representation, the respondents neither considered the same nor issued any proceedings. Hence, the writ petition. 4. On the other hand, learned Government Pleader for Revenue submits that in order to mutate the name of the petitioner in the revenue records in respect of the subject property, the petitioner herein has to make an appropriate application in Form-6A to respondent authorities through Mee- seva by paying requisite fee. In the absence of the same, the petitioner herein is not entitled to claim mutation of his name in respect of the subject property in the revenue records based on the representation submitted by him. He further submits that if the petitioner submits a fresh application seeking for mutation of his name in the revenue records in Form-6A through Mee-seva/ AP Online/ Village Secretariats by following proper procedure in terms of G.O.Ms. No.209 dated 14.06.2017 to the respondent authorities by paying requisite fee, the respondents would consider the same, within a reasonable time. 5.
