Questioning the said order of the Agent to the Government, petitioner preferred a revision to the Government and filed a petition in that revision seeking stay of his dispossession from the said land during the pendency of the revision. By the order dated 05.12.2001, his petition for stay during the pendency of the revision was rejected. Hence, this petition. 2. While admitting the writ petition, a learned Judge by the order dated 15.02.2002 in WPMP No.3632 of 2002 granted interim stay of dispossession of the petitioner from one acre of land situated in R.S.No.515/9B (Patta No.8) of Pragadapalli village, Polavaram Mandal, West Godavari District, until further orders and that stay is in force. 3. This writ petition is of 2002. It is stated that the revision preferred by the petitioner is still pending before the Government on the ground that stay of dispossession is granted by this Court in WPMP No.3632 of 2002. The stay granted by this Court is only with regard to the dispossession but not with regard to the hearing of the revision. Since the petitioner is having the benefit of stay all through, he is entitled to the stay of dispossession till the disposal of the revision pending before the Government. 4. Hence, this petition is disposed of by making the stay granted earlier on 15.02.2002 absolute till the disposal of the revision before the Government. The Government shall dispose of the revision pending before it, after issuing notice to the petitioner about the hearing of the revision and after affording an opportunity of being heard to him and the concerned individuals, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. -------------- 20.02.2008 Cvrk ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.
