3. l.earned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the deceased father of the petitioners was the holder of the rand in the subject survey numbers. Upon his demise, the petitioners succeeded to the said property as his 1egal heirs and have been in peaceful possession and enjo5rment thereof. The petitioners, being agricultura-l labourers, used to travel to other villages for agricultural work to eke out their livelihood. Taking advantage of their absence, certain unknown persons encroached upon their lands. Immediately thereafter, the petitioners approached respondent No.4 and submitted representations on lg.0g.2olg 2 arrd 12.10.2018. It is further submitted that bas,t d on the said representations, respondent No.4 issued nemos uide No.B/6714/2018, dated 19.09.2018 arrd No r )/ i519/2018, dated 12.10.2018, stating that the records per.l eining to the subject lands were not available in the office # res rondent No.4, as the frles had not been transmitted from Bhi nadevarapally Mandal after bifurcation

4. Icarned counsel for the petitioners woulcl contend that respondent No.4 ought to have called for records from Bhimadevarapalli Mandal and had taken app - rpriate action instead of issuing a memo citing non-availabiliy of records, which adversely affects the rights of the pe, tioners. He, therefore, sought indulgence of this Court to pir rs appropriate orders.

5. On the other hand, learned Assistant Gover tment pleader for Revenue, opposing the writ petition, subm I s that in tJle absence 'oT any records in the ofhce of respon( ent No.4, ttre issuance of the impugned memos cannot be lrulted. It is contended that respondent No.4 cannot be expecL:d to pass any orders without records and that the petitioner, insrr ead of availing the remedies available under law, has prematurr ty approached J this Court. Accordingly, it is prayed that the writ petition be dismissed.

6. This Court, having heard the submission of both counsel and upon perusal of the records, finds that in the absence of any documents pertainfug to the land claimed by the petitioners, no positive direction can be issued in the present writ petition. However, it is open for the petitioners to avail remedies as are available to them in law. In the result, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to
