3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the pattadar and cultivator of the subject land. The land, originally measuring Ac.7.OO gts., in Sy.Nos.44, 45,48, 105 and 168 was acquired by thc petitioner's late father, whose name was duly mutated in the revenue records and to u'hom pattadar passbooks were issued. He cultivated the land during his lifetime. After his demise, the property was partitioned among the petitioner and his brothers viz.Rukma Reddy, Chandra Reddy and Mohan Reddy. The revenue authorities accordingly mutated the said extent in the petitioner's name and issued a Pattadar Passbook bearing No.192277 and Patla No.27 in the year 1995. The petitioner has sinc:e been in peaceful and unin terrupted cultivation of the said lands. Subsequently, the Government of Telangana launched the Land Records Purification Programme along with the Rythu Bandhu Scheme, under which e Pattadar Passbooks were to be issued. In this context, revenue officials visited the petitioner's village, conducted a Gramo Sabha and issued a Samachara Prathi for corrections. The petitioner duly subrnitted the corrected Samachora Prathi along with the team leader's receipt, requesting issuance of the e-Pattadar Passbook. However, upon the petitioner's refusal to comply with certain uno{ficial demands by the revenue authorities, they developed grudge and deliberately withheld issuance of the e-Pattadar Passbook. Despite making representations to Respondent Nos.2 and 3 seeking redressal, no action has been taken .---z f'agc 3 of -1 till date. The State Government has mandated issuance of e-Pattadar Passbooks to all eligible farmers and Respondents 2 to 4 are statutorily bound to implement the samc. In the abscnce of any alternative remedy and in view of continued inaction, rhc petitioncr is const.rained to approach this Court by way of the present writ petition.

4. On the other hand, learned Assistant Government Pleader, representing learned Government Pleader for Revenue submits that issuance of e-Pattadar Passbook is subject to verification of land ownership and compliance with the prescribed procedures under the Telangana Land Revenue Act and related government guidelines. The allegations of unofficial demands or personal vendetta are baseless, unsubstantiated, and intended to mislead the Hon'ble. There is no inaction or arbitrariness on part of the respondents. The learned Assistant Government Pleader seeks a direction to the petitioner to Iile a lresh application before the rcspondent No.4 Tahasildar to verify and cause enquiry and to take appropriate action in accordance with [aw.

5. Having heard the rival contentions advanced on either side and upon perusal of the. record, this Court deems it appropriate to grant liberty to the petitioner to l-rle an appropriate application before the 4th respondent along with the supporting documents to demonstrate his claim within 4 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order and upon receipt of the same, the 4tr respondent shall Pase 4 ol J - dispose of the same in accordance with law and the procedure contemplated ald pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible preferably within six months thereon.

6. Having heard the learned counsel on both sidcs and upon perusal ol the record, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of thc prcscnt rvrit pctition by granting liberty to the petitioner to file an appropriate application before respondent No.4, along with supporting documcnts to substantiate his claitn, within 15 days from the date of rcccipt o[ a copv of this order. Upon such filing, respondcnt No.4 shall examine the application in accordancc u,ith lavi' and thc applicable procedure and pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible, pre ferably rvithin a period of six months thereafter.
