HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P. No. 22706 of 2009 DATED: 23.10.2009 Between: Sri Korani Yadagiri and nine others .. Petitioners And 1. The Special Grade Dy. Collector -cum-Revenue Divisional Officer 2. The Dy. Collector & Tahsildar .. Respondents O R D E R:- The petitioners assert that their fore-fathers were assigned a total extent of Ac.4.15 guntas of land in Sy.Nos. 575, 576 and 577 situated in Gowdelly village, Medchal Mandal, Ranga Reddy District and a joint patta certificate was issued by the then Tahsildar, Medchal Taluq on 02.10.1954 under Lavoni Rules. According to the petitioners, after the death of the fore- fathers, the original joint assigned pattedars, the petitioners, being the legal heirs, have been in possession and enjoyment of the same and their names are also reflected in the revenue records as pattedars. While so, the petitioners state that the 2nd respondent-Tahsildar passed an order dated 09.04.2008 indicating resumption of the assigned lands and their eviction from the possession of the lands in question. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioners, on 09.07.2008, preferred an appeal along with an application for stay of the order dated 09.04.2008, before the Revenue Divisional Officer, East Division, Ranga Reddy District and the same are pending. Now, the grievance of the petitioners is that in view of the non-disposal of the stay application filed by them, the 2nd respondent-Tahsildar is taking steps to evict them forcibly from the possession of the lands in question. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents and having regard to facts and circumstances of the case, this Court, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, is inclined to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: “The 1st respondent-Special Grade Deputy Collector-cum-Revenue Divisional Officer, East Division, Ranga Reddy District is directed to consider and dispose of the appeal said to have been preferred by the petitioners, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till the disposal of the appeal, the respondents shall maintain Status Quo obtaining as on today as to the possession of the petitioners over the lands in question.” Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________ C.V. RAMULU, J 23rd October, 2009 Note: Furnish copy in a week B/o bcj
