(A.A) Inams (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1956 (for short ‘the Act’), before respondent No.3, namely the Tahsildar, Singarayakonda, to determine as to whether the land in question is an Inam land. As the same was not considered, the petitioner filed W.P. No. 21338 of 2003, and this Court, by order dated 29.07.2003, disposed of the said writ petition directing respondent No.3 to conduct an enquiry. The petitioner states that respondent No.3, without conducting any enquiry and without giving any finding, dismissed his application, vide order dated 03.02.2004. Aggrieved thereby, he preferred appeal under Section 3(4) of the Act before respondent No.2, namely the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kandukur, who by order dated 02.02.2006 dismissed the appeal. The petitioner states that questioning the same, he filed revision under Section 14-A of the Act before respondent No.1, namely the Director, Appeals, Office of the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Hyderabad, on 03.04.2006, but till date no orders thereon have been passed. Taking advantage of the revision, it is the case of the petitioner that respondent No.4, namely the Station House Officer, Singarayakonda Police Station, Singarayakonda, Prakasam District, is trying to encroach upon his land in question. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents, and both of them agreed for disposal of the writ petition with the following directions: The 1st respondent, namely the Director, Appeals, Office of the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Hyderabad, is directed to consider and dispose of the revision petition filed by the petitioner under Section 14-A of the Act, and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
