THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R. VARMA W.P.No. 712 of 2006 11th January, 2006. Between: A. Doraswamy Reddy & others …Petitioners A N D The Govt. of A.P. rep. By the Secretary, Revenue Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad & others …Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R. VARMA W.P.No. 712 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: 1. The grievance of the petitioners is that they have been in possession and enjoyment of the mango garden for the past several years. 2. Now they complained that under a beneficial scheme, the 4th respondent is contemplating to assign these lands to landless poor. An appeal had been preferred to 3rd respondent and the same is pending. 3. On the other hand, the learned Govt. Pleader contends that the land has been taken back possession in the month of March, 2005 itself. This is a pure question of fact and this Court cannot go into this. 4. However, having regard to the fact that an appeal has been filed and the same has been pending before the 3rd respondent, suffice it to close the writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to dispose of the appeal as expeditiously as possible and pass final orders. Till such exercise is done status quo as on date shall be maintained. _______________________ D.S.R. VARMA ,J 11th January, 2006. CHV/CVRK
