But infact, the said I.A. was decided in favor of the petitioners, who filed the said suit and an injunction was granted on 31.01.2018 against the defendant therein, not to interfere with the possession of the petitioner’s plaint schedule properties. He further submits that the said suit is still pending.

However, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, this Writ Petition is disposed of, providing that the respondent No.1 shall take necessary steps for issuance of Pattadar Passbooks, however, by strictly following the procedure contemplated under the provisions of Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, without reference to the proceedings dated 23.04.2018.
