Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY Writ Petition No.26039 of 2011 ORDER:- This Writ Petition has been filed by Chintapalli Suryanarayana seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in trying to dispossess him from the land bearing S.No.20/2 admasuring Ac. 2.45 cents in Narva village, Samalkot Mandal, East Godavari District, pending his appeal No.40 of 2010 before the Regional Joint Commissioner of Endowments, Kakinada – 3rd respondent is illegal and arbitrary.. The petitioner claims to be the tenant of agricultural land admeasuring Ac.2.45 cents comprising Sy.No.20/2 in Navara village, Samalkot Mandal, East Godavari District. According to him, he is the landless poor and therefore he is entitled to be continued as a tenant over the land so long as he pays the lease amount. He filed application before the Assistant Commissioner, Endowments Department, Rajahmundry for recognizing him as landless poor. His application ended in dismissal and thereupon he preferred appeal No.48 of 2010 before Regional Joint Commissioner of Endowments, Kakinada, East Godavari District. Pending disposal of the appeal, he approached this Court invoking the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. When the Writ Petition came up for admission, learned Standing Counsel for Endowments takes notice on behalf of the respondents No.1 to 4 and with the consent of the Counsel appearing for the parties, the Writ Petition taken up for final hearing at the admission stage. Heard learned Counsel appearing for the parties. The limited grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are contemplating him to dispossess him pending the appeal before the Regional Joint Commissioner of Endowments, Kakinada, East Godavari District. Since the appeal is stated to be pending, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the Joint Commissioner of Endowments, Kakinada, East Godavari District – R.3 to dispose of the appeal, if not already disposed of, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of this order. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the admission stage. No order as to costs. _________________________ B.Seshasayana Reddy, J 16th September, 2011 smr
