RESU MAHENDER REDDY Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR Writ Petition No. 28318 of 2008 Order: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The only grievance of the petitioner is that against the orders of the Deputy Director, Survey and Land Records, Hyderabad, dated 28.01.2008, in Lr.No.A3/338/2004, he preferred an appeal before the first respondent, under Section 158 of the A.P. (Telangana Area) Land Revenue Act, 1317-F. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that though the said appeal was filed on 18.02.2008, but so far neither the appeal nor the interlocutory application therein is considered by the first respondent. Questioning the inaction, the present writ petition is filed. In view of the limited grievance as above, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to consider and decide the aforesaid appeal or interlocutory petition therein bearing No.9733/SS-1/2008-1, filed by the petitioner on 18.02.2008, expeditiously, but, in any case, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J. Date: 29.12.2008 Nsr
