A perusal of the impugned order shows that respondent No.1 having admitted the appeal rejected the stay application. However, respondent No.1 failed to assign any reason for such rejection. In view of the fact that the assignments were granted as far back as the year 1988 and were cancelled 22 years thereafter, the elements of balance of convenience and irreparable injury lie in favour of the petitioners to protect their possession till the disposal of the appeal. Accordingly, there shall be an order of status quo with reference to physical possession of the lands in question till the disposal of the appeal pending before respondent No.1. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.40217 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief disposed of as infructuous. (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) Date: 15.12.2010. VGB
