Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfer) Act, 1977 (for short, the Act), first respondent after issuing notice to the petitioners came to the conclusion that the petitioners purchased the property from the original assignees in violation of Section 3 of the Act, and accordingly ordered resumption of the land to the Government. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners appear to have filed an appeal before the second respondent on 5.10.2005 and also prayed for interim stay, in vain. Therefore, they filed the present Writ Petition. As the petitioners have already availed effective and efficacious alternative remedy provided under the relevant Statute, this Writ Petition is not maintainable. Therefore, so as to enable the petitioners to obtain appropriate interim orders, there shall be status quo for a period of ten days from today. The second respondent is directed to take up the appeal filed by the petitioners and pass appropriate orders on the stay application within a period of one week from today. The Writ Petition with the above observations and directions is accordingly disposed of. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 17.11.2005 bnr Note:Dispatch copy today. (B.O) bnr
