THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17119 of 2009 Dated:02.02.2010 Between: Thummala Laxmi .. Petitioner And The Joint Collector, Medak, Sangareddy, Medak District and others .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17119 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner purchased a plot of 240 square yards in Survey No.436 of Toopran Village and Mandal in the year 1993. Stating that the land in Survey No.436 is held by her, as protected tenant, respondents 2 to 5 submitted an application before the Tahsildar, Toopran, under Section 32 of the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950 (for short ‘the Act’) for restoration of possession. Through his order, dated 08.04.1994, the Tahsildar allowed the application. The petitioner states that she came to know about that order in the year 2009, and soon thereafter, she preferred an appeal before the Joint Collector, Medak District, the 1st respondent herein, under Section 90 of the Act, together with an application for stay. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 1st respondent did not grant any stay and that respondents 2 to 5 are trying to dispossess her from the plot, referred to above. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Revenue, and learned counsel for respondents 2 to 5. The petitioner, no doubt, filed an appeal with enormous delay of more than a decade. However, the delay is said to be, on account of the fact that she was not aware of the order passed by the Tahsildar. In case, she is dispossessed from the plot, the very appeal would become infructuous. While issuing notice before admission, this Court granted interim order on 19.08.2009. The same arrangement can be continued, pending disposal of the appeal. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of, directing that the petitioner shall not be evicted from the plot in question, till the 1st respondent passes an order, on the appeal preferred by her. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dated: 02.02.2010 KH
