Summary: Smt. Mada Anantha Laxmi's request to be recognized as the owner of a piece of land in Telangana has been addressed by the court, giving her a way to sort out the issue.
Smt. Mada Anantha Laxmi, who lives in Reddipalli Village, Telangana, claims she owns a piece of land that is 3 acres and 25 guntas in size. She says she bought the land in 2010 and has a document to prove it. However, her name hasn't been updated in the official land records.
Laxmi's struggle began when she asked the local land officer (Tahsildar) to update her name in the land records. An inquiry was set for February 2012, and since no one objected, the process to update the records was started in April 2012. But still, her name didn't appear in the official online land records.
The case was taken to Justice K. Lakshman, who mentioned a new rule called the Telangana Bhu Bharati (Record of Rights in Land) Act, 2024. This rule requires Laxmi to send an application to the Revenue Divisional Officer to update her records.
"The petitioner has to submit an application to the respondent No.2, with a request to mutate her name and issue E-Pattadar Passbook," stated the court order.
Justice K. Lakshman decided that Laxmi can submit her application online within a week. The Revenue Divisional Officer has to process this application within 30 days. If her request is denied, she must be given a reason why.
Laxmi now has a clear way to possibly solve her land ownership problem. The court's decision ensures that her application will be dealt with quickly, helping her get her name officially recorded in the land records.
