The Writ Petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is filed by the Petitioner for the following relief: ..” to issue a writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents 2 to 5 in not rectifying the mistakes crept in the revenue records including the webland adangals as illegal, unjust and violative of the petitioners rights guaranteed under Art.14, 19, 21 of the Constitution of India including the petitioners right to property under Art.300A of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents 2 to 5 to rectify the entries in the revenue records including the webland adangals by restoring the petitioners names in respect of land of an extent of 0.95cents in Sy.No. 175/1 of Sundarayyapeta Village, Kasimkota Mandal, Anakapalle District and the corresponding entries in the revenue records including ROR1B and pass…..” ::4:: 2. During hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners requested this Court, without touching the merits of the case, to issue a direction to the respondent authorities to consider the applications/representations dated 05.11.2024 and 26.12.2024 of the Petitioners in accordance with law. 4. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents readily agreed to consider the applications/representations of the petitioners dated 05.11.2024 and 26.12.2024, if any pending with the authorities. 5. In view of the submission of the Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing 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 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 the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioners himself requested to issue a direction to consider the applications/representations dated 05.11.2024 and 26.12.2024, this Court find no other alternative except to issue such direction. 1 2019 (8) SCALE 544 ::5:: 6. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent Nos.3 and 4 to consider the applications/representations dated 05.11.2024 and 26.12.2024 submitted by the petitioners, within a period of two (02) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, by passing a speaking order after providing an opportunity of hearing to the petitioners and all concerned parties. No costs. Consequently, interlocutory applications pending, if any, shall also stand closed. ________________________________ VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA,J Dt: 12.09.2025 klk ::6:: 83 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA WRIT PETITION NO: 24547 of 2025 12.09.2025 klk
