THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION Nos.23142; 23150; 23151; 23152; 23153; 23155; 23156 & 23214 of 2007 DATED: 02-11-2007 Suresh & others. ...PETITIONERS AND The District Collector, Hyderabad District & 2 others. …RESPONDENTS COMMON ORDER: Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. 2. It is the case of the petitioners that they are the lawful owners and purchasers of the property which is the subject-matter of the succession proceedings issued by the Mandal Revenue Officer, Asifnagar in proceedings No.D/1710/92, dated 17-06-2002. Aggrieved by the said succession proceedings, 2nd respondent herein filed appeal No.B2/4871/2002 before the 1st respondent- District Collector, Hyderabad. 3. It is the further case of the petitioners that they are the proper and necessary parties and they are in possession of the said lands purchased by them and accordingly they have filed implead petitions on 01-08-2007 seeking to implead them in the appeal, but the appellate authority has not considered and disposed of the same so far. 4. I am not inclined to express any opinion with regard to the merits of the case, but when implead petitions are filed it is just and proper for the authorities to consider the interlocutory applications first and then proceed to dispose of the main appeal. 5. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, 1st respondent is directed to consider and dispose of the implead petitions first after giving reasonable opportunity to all the concerned before disposing of the main appeal in accordance with law. 6. Accordingly, Writ Petitions are disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ V. ESWARAIAH, J 02nd November, 2007. Note: Furnish C.C. of the order within three days. B/o Tsy
