THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5723 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner felt aggrieved by an order, dated 19.07.2007, passed by the Tahsildar, G.Konduru Mandal, the second respondent herein, under Section 5-A of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’). Therefore, he filed an appeal under Section 5-B of the Act before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Vijayawada, Krishna District, the first respondent herein, in September 2007. It is stated that the arguments in the appeal were concluded way back on 19.04.2008 and written arguments were also submitted. The grievance of the petitioner is that the first respondent has not disposed of the appeal, as yet. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. If what is stated by the petitioner is true, it can be said that the first respondent has taken up the appeal for hearing within a very short time. However, keeping the matter pending for months together even after concluding the hearing would lead to its own complications. The delay in pronouncement of the orders after concluding the hearing would certainly tell upon the quality of the adjudication. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the first respondent to pass orders in the appeal preferred by the petitioner, within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:19.03.2009 kdl
