Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ELIPE DHARMA RAO WRIT PETITION No.16992 of 2005 O R D E R: Against the order passed by the second respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, Tadepalligudem Mandal, dated 24-05-2005, an appeal was filed by the petitioner before the first respondent- Revenue Divisional Officer, Eluru. Pending the appeal, the second respondent is insisting the petitioner to stop the agricultural operations in the land in question. Hence, the writ petition is filed to direct the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner from the land in question. It is the case of the petitioner that she has purchased the land from one Tadiparthi Papa @ Mahalakshmi. But, according to the respondents, the land was assigned to the said Mahalakshmi under landless poor quota and the petitioner purchased the land contrary to the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfer) Act, 1977. Since the appeal filed by the petitioner is pending consideration before the first respondent, I deem it appropriate to direct the first respondent to dispose of the appeal, in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order after giving an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and the affected parties. Till such time, the respondents are directed not to dispossess the petitioner from the land in question. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________ 02-08-2005 kdl
