Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short ‘the Act’) in respect of Ac.1-27 cents of land in Survey No.339-9 of Thurimerla Village, Dagadarthi Mandal of Nellore District. It is also stated that the petitioner is entitled for the benefit under section 3 (5) of the Act 9 of 1977 and has submitted his explanation on 28-7-2004 and without considering the same the respondents are trying to dispossess the petitioner. It is also stated that as against the impugned order an appeal lies to the 2nd respondent/Revenue Divisional Officer and the same is not being entertained by the 2nd respondent/Revenue Divisional Officer. Hence the writ petition. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition permitting the petitioner to file an appeal together with an application for interim orders, before the 2nd respondent/Revenue Divisional Officer, within a period of four weeks from today. On filing such an appeal, the 2nd respondent/Revenue Divisional Officer is directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law expeditiously. Till such time, status quo existing as on today shall be maintained. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
