THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.23624 OF 2009 Date: 03.11.2009 Between: V. Srinivasa Rao and others …. Petitioners And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Revenue Department, Rep. By Joint Collector – I, Ranga Reddy District, Hyderabad and two others. …. Respondents THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING: ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the first respondent in refusing to extend the interim orders passed in Case No.E5/5572/09 dated 19.09.2009, from 01.11.2009 till the disposal of the revision, as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently to stay the orders of the second respondent dated 20.06.2009. It appears the petitioners have purchased small extents of house sites of about 170 square yards each situated in Survey No.310 of Nizampet Village, Quthbullapur Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. While that being so, the Tahasildar-cum-Deputy Collector, Quthbullapur Mandal, Ranga Reddy District-third respondent herein passed an order on 10.11.2008 resuming the land purported to have been assigned in favour of the vendor of the petitioners. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioners have filed an appeal before the second respondent and the same was dismissed on 20.06.2009. Questioning the same, the petitioners have filed a revision petition before the Joint Collector-I, Ranga Reddy District. According to the petitioners, in the said revision, they have also filed a petition seeking stay of the orders passed by the third respondent. Initially, the first respondent passed an interim order on 19.09.2009 directing the third respondent not to disturb the possession of the petitioners’ upto 03.10.2009. Subsequently, the same was extended upto 31.10.2009. However, on 31.10.2009, the matter was adjourned to 10.11.2009 for hearing. Now, the grievance of the petitioners is that the interim order, dated 19.09.2009, was extended only upto 31.10.2009 and the same could have been extended till the completion of the hearing of the revision petition. Hence, this writ petition. In those circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, the Joint Collector-I, Ranga Reddy District is directed to dispose of the revision petition filed by the petitioners within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and the interim stay granted on 19.09.2009 shall be continued during the pendency of the revision petition. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 03.11.2009 va
