Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader representing the official respondent Nos.1 to 4. 3. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that despite making repeated representations i.e., on 30.01.2025 and 03.03.2025 requesting for issuance of a duplicate patta on the ground that the original D- Form patta dated 03.12.1978 relating to the subject matter land was lost, the respondents having received the same failed to pass orders on the said representations. It is his further contention that the respondents without issuing any notice to the petitioner and without following the procedure as contemplated under law are making attempts to issue patta in favor of the respondent No.5. 4. On the other hand, the learned Assistant Government Pleader, on instructions received from the respondent No.4 dated 28.10.2025, submits that originally the subject land was assigned to one Guvvala Jalaiah S/o. Subbaiah vide RC No.988/78-J dated 01.05.1978, DK No.41/VS/1387. Subsequently, the said assignment was cancelled on 15.03.1999 and the land was re-assigned to the unofficial respondent No.5 i.e., Kunchala Venkateswarlu S/o. Subbarao vide RC.No.174/99-A dated 15.03.1999 by the then Tahsildar, Narasaraopet. 5. Under the said circumstances, the petitioner has no subsisting right over the subject land and the question of issuing a duplicate patta in her favor DR,J W.P No.29923 of 2025 4 does not arise. If the petitioner is aggrieved, it is open to her to approach the competent Civil Court to establish her rights, if any. 6. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE D RAMESH Date:01.12.2025 Ksj
