THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 26003 OF 2007 DATED: 10-12-2007 Between: Talari Lakshmi, W/o. Krishna Murthy R/o.Chavalipadu and another … Petitioners And The District Collector, Krishna, Machilipatnam and two others … Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 26003 OF 2007 ORDER: The petitioners, who claimed to be the owners and possessors of land admeasuring about Ac.0.55 cents each in R.S.No.82/7B in Chavalipadu village, Mandavalli Mandal, Krishna District, filed this writ petition aggrieved by the orders, dated 04-08-2007 passed in proceedings No.Rc.A.187/2007 by the third respondent. The third respondent-Tahsildar(Mandal Revenue Officer), Mandavalli, Mandavalli Mandal, Krishna District passed orders of eviction against the petitioners in exercise of powers under sub- sections (1) and (2) of Section 3 of A.P. Assigned land(Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977(for short ‘the Act’) as amended by Act 8 of 2007. Aggrieved by the orders of eviction, the petitioners have preferred an appeal under Sec.4-A of the Act before the second respondent- Revenue Divisional Officer on 12-11-2007. On the ground that in spite of pendency of the appeal, steps are being taken by the respondents for eviction of the petitioners, they approached this Court. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the land in question was not at all assigned land and there is no violation of the provisions of the Act, and the petitioners questioned the authority and jurisdiction of the Tahsildar in passing the order of eviction. As against the order dated 04-08-2007 passed in proceedings No.Rc.A.187/2007 by the third respondent, the petitioners have already approached the appellate authority by filing the appeal on 12- 11-2007, it is not desirable to record any finding on merits of the case. As much as it is stated that the petitioners are in continuous possession of the said land and there are standing crops in the aforesaid land, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the second respondent-appellate authority to dispose of the appeal preferred by the petitioners on 12-11-2007 as expeditiously as possible. It is further directed that the order of eviction passed by the Tahsildar on 04-08-2007 in Rc.No.187/2007 shall not be enforced till the disposal of the appeal and respondents are further directed to allow the petitioners to cultivate the land in question till such time. Subject to the above directions, writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J. Dt: 10-12-2007 Note: Issue C.C.within two days. B/o.
