AND The District Collector, Medak District at Sangareddy and another. ..Respondents. THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION Nos.2637 and 2710 of 2006 COMMON ORDER: Both these writ petitions are filed questioning the similar proceedings bearing No.B/2120/2005, dated 22-12-2005, in passing orders under Section 4(1) of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short ‘the Act’) as the petitioners purchased the assigned lands in contravention of the provisions of Section 3 (1) and (2) of the Act. Admittedly, there is a right of appeal provided under Section 4-A of the Act before the Revenue Divisional Officer. Therefore, I am not inclined to express any opinion with regard to the merits of the case, as there is a remedy of appeal. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioners are directed to file an appeal within 10 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and on filing such an appeal, the appellate authority i.e., the Revenue Divisional Officer, Medak District, is directed to consider and dispose of the same after giving reasonable opportunity to the petitioners, within eight weeks thereafter. Both the Writ Petitions are disposed of accordingly. No order as to costs. __________ 14-02-2006 sj
