Giri Prasad Rao and the said assignees transferred the said land in favour of the petitioner in violation of the provision of sub-section (2) of Section 3 of the Act, the petitioners filed an appeal before the 2nd respondent on 07-07-2007. It is stated that pending disposal of the appeal, the Tahsildar, Nandivada Mandal, Krishna District, is taking steps to dispossess the petitioners from the land in question. As the appeal is pending, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that it is just and proper to direct the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal filed against the orders passed by the Tahsildar, Nandivada Mandal, Krishna District, dated 23-07- 2007, in proceedings in Rc.No.B.95/2007, as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with law, after giving reasonable opportunity to the petitioners.
