THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.23456 OF 2011 ORDER: The proceedings of the third respondent dated 05.05.2011, is under challenge in this Writ Petition, as being arbitrary and illegal. A consequential direction is sought to the third respondent not to dispossess the petitioner from the land admeasuring Ac.5-00 cents in Survey No.194/1 of Yedavalli Village, Kanigiri Mandal, Prakasam District. By the said order of the third respondent, land of an extent of Ac.5-00 cents in Survey No.194/1 was resumed to the Government for violation of the conditions of assignment. The petitioner was also informed that an appeal lay against the said order to the Sub-Collector, Kandukur within 90 days. The petitioner asserts that an appeal was filed before the second respondent on 25.07.2011, and as the second respondent failed to decide the appeal, the present Writ Petition was filed. On being asked as to whether any application for stay had been filed, along with the appeal, Learned Counsel for the petitioner would express ignorance. He would submit that, if no application for stay had been made earlier, the petitioner would file such an application within one week from today and, it would suffice if the Writ Petition was itself disposed of directing the second respondent to dispose of the said stay application within a specific time frame. As an appeal has already been preferred by the petitioner on 25.07.2011, I consider it appropriate to permit the petitioner to file an application seeking stay of the order of the third respondent pending disposal of the said appeal. In case such an application is filed within one week from today, the second respondent shall pass orders thereupon, in accordance with law, within a period of two weeks thereafter. The Writ Petition stands disposed of accordingly. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J August 19, 2011 Note: Issue C.C. by 23.08.2011.
