4. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that once the lands are ceased to be agricultural lands the provisions of the then Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar_ Passbooks Act, 1971 and also the provisions of Telangana Rights in land and Pattadar Passbooks Act,2O2O are not applicable to the non-agricultural lands and as such, the action of the respondent authorities in issuing pattadar passbooks in favour of respondent No.S in respect of the said lands and consequential entries made in the Dharani portal is in gross violation of the provisions ROR Act. I 5: This Court vide its order dated 31.03.2023 directed the petitioner to take out personal notice to respondent No.S. Personal notice has been taken out to respondent No.S and the same was served on respondent No.5. Today, when the matter was taken up for hearing, there is no representation on behalf of respondent No.5.

6. As seen from the record, the petitioner has purchased the subject property. under the registered sale deed bearing Document No.2521 of 2013, dated 28.06.2O13 and the name of the petitioner was also mutated in the revenue records for the extent purchased I I and also issued pattadar passbook. Once the land is converted from agricultural use to non-agricultural purpose, the entertainment of the application Iiled under ROR Act, 2O2O, treating such lands as agricultural lands and consequential issuance of pattadar passbook a I l I I vt!\. 4 or making any amendments of the revenue records, are not in consonance with procedure laid down under the law'

7. Since the respondent authorities are not conferred with any power for mutation of revenue record in respect of non-agricultural lands in favour of respondent No.5 and since respondent No'5 has not opposed the writ petition, this Court deems it appropriate to allow this writ petition as prayed for. 8 Accordingly, this Writ Petition is allowed, as prayecl for' As a secuel, the miscelianeous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
