THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.1387 of 2010 ORDER: One Sri J.Gangaiah, the brother of the petitioner was granted DKT patta in respect of Ac.1.71 cents of land in Survey Nos.762/1A and 2A of Moram Village, Palamaner Mnadal, Chittoor District. Out of that, Ac.0.85 cents of land is said to have been transferred in favour of the petitioner in the partition. The Tahsildar, 2nd respondent herein initiated proceedings against the petitioner under the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfer) Act. On a consideration of the explanation submitted by the petitioner, the 2nd respondent passed an order dated 02.12.2009 directing resumption of the land. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Madanapalle, 1st respondent herein with an application for stay. The grievance of the petitioner is that no orders have been passed on the application so far and that in the meanwhile, respondents 2 and 3 are trying to evict him. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioner has already availed the remedy of appeal and has also filed an application for stay. In case, he is dispossessed from the land, the very purpose of preferring the appeal would be defeated. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the order, dated 02.12.2009 passed by the 2nd respondent shall remain suspended till the disposal of the appeal by the 1st respondent. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 29.01.2010 Note: Issue C.C. in three days. (B/o) JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.1387 of 2010 Date: 29.01.2010 JSU
