THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.27987 of 2007 Between: V.Venkataramana. .. PETITIONER and The Joint Collector and others. .. RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.27987 of 2007 ORDER: It is the case of the petitioner that against the order passed by the Sub- Collector, Madanapalle, Chittoor District-2nd respondent in proceedings in D.Dis.(B1).4643/2005, dated 11-09-2006, in cancelling the DKT patta granted in favour of the petitioner in respect of the land admeasuring Ac.0-75 cents in Sy.No.469/8A situated at Piler Village and Mandal, Chittoor District, the petitioner filed an appeal along with stay application before the 1st respondent and the same is numbered as R.O.C.No.E8/9791/2006. It is stated that so far neither the stay application nor the appeal has been disposed of. As the appeal is pending, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that it is just and proper to direct the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal itself. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal pending in R.O.C.No.E8/9791/2006, which is filed against the order of the 2nd respondent, dated 11-09-2006, in proceedings in D.Dis.(B1).4643/2005, as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with law. Pending disposal of the appeal, status-quo obtaining as on today with regard to the possession of the land in question shall be maintained. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 28-12-2007 Prv
