In this connection, I submit that, the petitioner Sri Daggubati Venkateswara Rao, S/o.Ankamma Rao filed an application in Village Sachivalayam vide application No.MLPM241029031482, dated 29.10.2024 for mutation of his name in revenue records for the land to an extent of ac.1.681 cents in L.P.No.3395 (Old Sy.No.257, 258-B), Ac.0.78 cents in L.P.No.1350 (Old Sy.No.142) and Ac.0.55 cents in L.P.No.1347 (Old Sy.No.141) situated at Chandavaram Village of Nadendla Mandal. After due procedure, the application filed by the petitioner was accepted on 30.11.2024 and the name of the petitioner was mutated in Revenue records for the said land. 4 The same can be seen from the adangals which are enclosed by the petitioner along with his affidavit.

It is further submitted that Chandavaram Village is a Re-Survey completed Village and Government have taken decision for issue of New Model Pattadar Passbooks to all the Khatadars of the Re-Survey completed villages. Accordingly, New Model Pattadar Passbooks are received to this office and the same will be distributed in Gramsabhas as per the Guidelines of the Government.” 3. As seen from the written instructions dated 23.07.2025, the name of the petitioner was mutated in the revenue records. Hence, the relief claimed in the writ petition was granted/redressed by the respondent authorities. 4. Taking into consideration of the written instructions, dated 23.07.2025, the Writ Petition is closed. However, the respondents are directed to issue pattadar passbooks in the name of the petitioner as expeditiously as possible. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous Petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________________________ JUSTICE TARLADA RAJASEKHAR RAO Date : 04.08.2025 SPP 5 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE TARLADA RAJASEKHAR RAO Writ Petition No:20059 of 2025 Date : 04.08.2025 SPP
