THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.6205 OF 1998 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed with the following prayer. “ to issue a writ of Mandamus directing the 1st respondent to dispose of S.R.11(a) 429/67 and S.R.17(i) (a)/1/75 expeditiously and to issue a consequential direction to the 2nd respondent not to assign or allot land relating to the subject matter of the aforesaid cases particularly in S.No.31, 40, 41 and 51 in T.D.No.1392 of Chintalapalem village, Vizianagaram district to third parties pending disposal of the said cases and also direct the respondents 4 to 6 not to make permanent structures or alter the nature or use of land…” This Court while directing Rule nisi, by order dated 10.3.1998, ordered that status quo in all respects obtained as on that day shall be maintained until further orders. In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents 1 and 2, the allegations made by the petitioners that the respondents 4 to 6 are making constructions and attempting to alter the nature of the land in question have been denied and it is stated that apprehension of the writ petitioners is without any basis. Having regard to the stand taken by the respondents in the counter affidavit, and since the grievance of the petitioners is only with regard to the alleged constructions being made by the respondents 4 to 6, pending proceedings before the 1st respondent-Settlement Officer, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the proceedings pending on his file, if not already disposed of, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, status quo ordered by this Court on 10.3.1998, shall be maintained. No costs. __________ (G. ROHINI). 10th April, 2006. THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.
