The counsel for the petitioner asserts in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition that land in Sy.No. 279/2 admeasuring Ac. 2-12 cents classified as Gayalu as per FLR of Nadimipalli village. The Settlement Officer, Nellore has allotted the said land to Baba Fakruddin Committee vide proceedings in S.R.

However, in the year 2018, the subject land was mutated in the name of one K. Sreenivasulu without any basis. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner submitted a grievance report through Spandana. Pursuant to the complaint, the Tahsildar, Somandepalli, conducted an enquiry based on the field report submitted by the Mandal Revenue Inspector dated 28.10.2023. It was noted that the land belongs to the Dargah and the petitioner's family has been in possession. Though the Tahsildar has acknowledged the illegal mutation, no final order has been passed by the 3rd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer. Hence, the present writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the 3rd respondent to pass appropriate orders. 4. Heard Sri Sk.

Sreenivasulu as illegal and submitted a report to the 3rd respondent R.D.O., and he has disregarded the report without issuing any order, the said inaction on the part of the 3rd respondent R.D.O., causing prejudice to the petitioner, hence he seeks a direction to the 3rd respondent. 7. As the prayer in the writ petition is innocuous and only seeks a direction to direct the 3rd respondent R.D.O., to act upon the report submitted by the Tahsildar, as such this Court is inclined to dispose of the present writ petition at the admission stage directing the 3rd respondent-R.D.O., to pass appropriate order on the report submitted by the 4th respondent-Tahsildar vide Rc. No. 299/B/2023 dated 28.10.2023, within a period of (4) four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. 8. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of.
