Despite repeated representations over the past five decades and an entry made in the Rythu Passbook of year 1979-80 in favor of the original purchaser, the respondents have failed to mutate the petitioners' names in the revenue records and issue Pattadar Passbooks. The revenue authorities continue to re{lect the names of the vendor and his legal heirs, who had already transferred the land in

1965. The petitioners have submitted multiple representations from 2013 to 2O2O, including to the Tahsildar, RDO, and Grievance Cell. Although a notice was issued in 2013, no further action was taken. The inaction has resulted in deprivation of constitutional rights under Article 300-A, including denial of Rythu Bandhu Scheme benefits from 2O18 onwards. There is no pending litigation restraining mutation or issuance of Pattadar Passbooks in favor of the Under the above circumsternces, the petitioners seek a direction to the -petitioners. respondents to mutate their names in the revenue records based on the registered sale deed and the earlier Rythu Passbook entry, to issue I # Page 3 ol5 Pattadar Passbooks accordingly, and to release the benefits under the Rythu Bandhu Scheme along with arrears. 4 . On the other hand, the learned Assistant Government Pleader, upon obtaining instructions, submitted, that, the petitioners who are the residents of Devapur Village, Talamadugu Mandal, Adilabad District have irled the present writ petition claiming to be the legal heirs of Late Sri Tadaka Maliaiah S/o Poshetty.

Despite being in continuous possession and cultivating the said land since then, the petitioners state that their names have not beeri mutated in the revenue records. The name of the vendor, Sri Challa Linga Reddy and his sons, continues to appear as pattadars, while the petitioners are shown only as possessors. The Tahsildar, Talamadugu, upon veriffing records from 1955-2018, conhrmed that although Late Tadaka Mallaiah's name appears in the cultivation column from 196il1969, the pattadar column continued to reflect the names of the vendor's family. A local enquiry conducted by the Mandal Girdawar confirmed that the petitioners have been in possession arrd are cultivating the land. However, since the case involves disputed entries in the revenue recoqs, the Tahsildar states that it is civil in nature. Furthermore, due I I to the repeal of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971, and enactment of the Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 2O2O (Act 9 of 2O2Ol, all applications related to land mutation or correction must now be frled online through the Dharani Portal, along with any Court orders, if applicable.
