Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.D.BHASKAR REDDY Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 and 2: GP FOR REVENUE Counsel for the Respondent No.3: -- Counsel for the Respondent No.4: -- This Court at the admission stage made the following : O R D E R: The petitioner claims to be the absolute owner, possessor and pattadar of the land admeasuring Ac.5-10 cents in survey No.25 of Yerrapur Village of Ibrahimpatnam Mandal, Karimnagar District. He states that out of the said land of Ac.5-10 guntas, an extent of Ac.4- 15 guntas was acquired for the purpose of flood flow canal of Sriram Sagar Project. It is alleged that the fourth respondent on the basis of a fabricated and forged sale deed got his name mutated in the revenue records concerned in respect of Ac.3-37 guntas out of Ac.5-10 guntas of land belonging to the petitioner. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Jagtiyal. However, the said appeal was dismissed by order dated 03-01-2005. Challenging the said order, the petitioner preferred a revision before the first respondent along with an application seeking a direction not to disburse the compensation amount till the disposal of the revision. The grievance of the petitioner is that the first respondent has neither considered the revision nor passed any orders on the application seeking interim relief. However, in the meanwhile the second respondent is likely to pay the compensation amount to the fourth respondent on the basis of the forged document. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 and 2 and in view of the fact that the statutory revision is pending before the first respondent, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to dispose of the application filed by the petitioner seeking interim relief in his Revision Petition filed under Section 23 (1) of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattedar Pass Book Act, 1989, against the order of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Jagityal, dated 3-1-2005 and to pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order. Till such disposal, there shall be a direction to the respondents 2 and 3 not to disburse the compensation amount, if not already disbursed as on today. The writ petition is accordingly disposed. No costs. _____________ (G. ROHINI, J) Date: 16-03-2005 Note: Issue CC by tomorrow. (B/o) ghn To 1 The Joint Collector, Karimnagar, Karimnagar District. 2 The Dy.
