Pleader for Endowments The Court made the following: ORAL JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble the Chief Justice) Appellants are not parties to the writ petition. Writ Petition was filed by the first respondent seeking direction against second respondent to take up Revision Petition inward No.36765 dated 14-10-2004 for passing appropriate orders in the stay petition and for disposal of the Revision Petition expeditiously, by maintaining status quo with regard to possession of the writ petitioner from the revision schedule land situate in Thimmanaidupalem village, Chandragiri Taluq, Chittoor district, in Survey No.205 to the extent of Acs.17-47 cents out of Acs.24-25 cents. Writ Petitioner did not implead any of the affected persons except the second respondent herein. Learned single Judge disposed of the writ petition directing the second respondent to dispose of the revision within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of order and directed that till revision is disposed of, status quo shall continue to be maintained. Appellants are aggrieved by the said order on the ground that they are the subsequent purchasers from P.Srinivasulu Naidu, who is third respondent in the revision petition before the Government of Andhra Pradesh, and such an order could not have been passed in the absence of proper and necessary parties to the revision petition or without impleading them as parties. It is also stated that P.Srinivasulu Naidu, S/o Venkatesulu Naidu, who is third respondent in revision petition, has since expired. We need not go into the merits of the case at this stage. Needless to add that revision is pending and in case P.Srinivasulu Naidu has since expired, it will be for the writ petitioner to take appropriate steps to bring on record legal representatives or the persons claiming title through P.Srinivasulu Naidu in the revision petition. It is also open to the appellants to get themselves impleaded in the revision petition and safeguard their interests. In the normal course, the revision ought to have been disposed of by this time. Since it has not been disposed of, we will dispose of the appeal limiting the duration of status quo granted for a period of fifteen days from today, leaving it open to the second respondent to pass appropriate orders after giving notice and opportunity to the parties. Accordingly, we allow the appeal and modify the impugned order to the effect that the interim order of status quo shall continue to be maintained for a period of fifteen days from today and thereafter, the writ petitioner may obtain further orders from the revisional authority. ________________________ DEVINDER GUPTA, C.J. ______________________ M.NARAYANA REDDY, J 20-01-2005 bsc To 1.
