2. Heard Mr. Shreyas Reddy Yelagiri, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Mr. L. Ravinder, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, and perused the material on record.

3. It is stated that the mother of the petitioner purchased the subject land admeasuring Acs.5-06 guntas in Survey No.75, Acs.2-30 guntas in Survey No.147/A, Acs.0-31 guntas in Survey No.149/A, Ac.0-13 guntas in Survey No.149/B, Ac.0-14 guntas in Survey No.149/C, Ac.0-18 guntas in Survey No.159/A and Acs.2-00 guntas in Survey No.169C, situated at Obulapalli Village, Zaffergadh Mandal, Jangaon District under various unregistered sale deeds dated 15.03.1978, 10.03.1978, 05.03.1978, 06.02.,1970, 02.02.1970 and 05.02.1970. It is also the case of the petitioner that after conducting enquiry under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short 'Act 1971') and Rules made there under, the respondent authorities issued 13-A Certificate directing the petitioner to deposit the registration fee and stamp duty on the file of respondent No.3 - the Tahasildar, Zaffergadh Mandal. It is stated that pending consideration of issuance of 13-B and 13-C certificates in terms of the provisions of the Act 1971 and rules made there under in respect of the subject land, the State Legislature has repealed the Act 1971 and replaced with the Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 2020 (for short 'Act 2020') wherein no powers have been conferred on the revenue authorities for regularization of the Sadabainama or consequent issuance of sale certificates. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though the respondent authorities have issued 13-A certificate, in view of non-issuance of 13-B and 13-C certificates, no pattadar pass book has been issued under the provisions of the Act 2020.

4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue submitted that there is no provision conferred powers on the revenue authorities for validating or regularizing a Sadabainama under the Act 2020. Learned Assistant Government Pleader further submitted that the Act 2020 is now being repealed and replaced by the New ROR Bill 2024 i.e., Telangana Bhumata Land Revenue Act, and the same is pending for issuance of notification for giving effect of the provision of the Act, 2024. It is further stated that under the provisions of the new Bhumata Portal enactment, there is a provision for regularizing/validating Sadabainama subject to fulfilling the conditions required under the provisions of the new ROR Bill 2024.

5. In view of the above submissions, this Court, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, as it is stated by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue that the New ROR Bill 2024 is pending for issuance of notification for giving effect of the provision of the Act 2024, the ends of the justice would be met if the petitioner is given liberty to file appropriate application for regularization/ validation of Sadabainama under the provisions of the new Bhumata Portal 2024 wherein there is a provision conferred for validating/ regularizing a Sadabainama.
