Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioner’s husband and his brother are the absolute owners and possessors of land admeasuring Sy. No. 256/2B to an extent of 0.27 cents, Sy. No. 259/1 to an extent of 0.08 cents, Sy. No. 375/1 to an extent of 0.50 cents, Sy. No. 381/2 to an extent of 0.1 cents, Sy. No. 382/2 to an extent of 0.11 cents, Sy.

No. 565/2 to an extent of 0.20 cents, totaling 1.24 cents, situated in Pedakothapalli Village, Vonitmitta Mandal, YSR Kadapa District, having acquired the subject property through their ancestors. These properties remain undivided. After the death of the petitioner’s husband, his brother is attempting to take over her husband’s share of the property. The petitioner’s husband’s brother (K. Subbaiah) is trying to alienate the ancestral properties to third parties. Therefore, the petitioner approached an advocate and issued a legal notice to respondent Nos. 4 and 5, requesting them not to issue any pattadar passbook-cum-title deed or make any entries in the revenue 3. Webland records. While matters stood thus, respondent No. 7 got mutated " her name against the said ancestral properties without any intimation to the petitioners who is legal heir and also obtained e-passbook. Hence, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 28.07.2023 to respondent No. 4 for deletion of the same. However, no action has been taken so far. Hence, this writ petition. Though the petitioner made several allegations against the 4. respondents, during hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner requested this Court, without touching the merits of the case, to issue a direction to the respondents to consider the application/representation dated 08.04.2024 and 12.04.2024 of the Petitioners in accordance with law. On the other hand, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for 5. I 1 i Revenue, appearing on behalf of the respondents, submits the respondent authorities will consider the representation and pass appropriate orders in accordancewith law, within a reasonabletime. 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.Venkatesh^”, 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 6. 2019(8) SCALE 544 ' justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioners himself requested to issue a direction to cons-der the applications/representations dated 08.04.2024 "and 12.04.2024, this Court find no other alternative except to issue such direction. Having regard to the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for the respondents, and upon perusal of the material placed on record, this Court is of the considered opinion that the present Writ Petition can be disposed of by directing the respondent authorities to consider the representation dated 28.07.2023, after providing an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and all concerned parties, within a period of three (03) months, from the date of receipt of a copy of this order . In the mean while, all the parties are directed to maintain status-quo obtaining as on today. 7. Sd/- K.
