Inam (Abolition and Conversion into Riotwari) Act, 1956, Visakhapatnam & 3 others. … Respondents * * * HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.5002 of 2011 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner association is with regard to the inaction of the Revenue Divisional Officer-cum-Appellate Authority under the A.P. Inams (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1956, Visakhapatnam in passing orders upon its appeal dated 07.02.2011 filed under Section 7 (2) of the said Act against the order dated 31.7.2010 passed by the Primary Tribunal- cum-Special Deputy Tahsildar (Inams), Visakhapatnam in Inam Case AIP No.53 of 2010. 2. As the matter is pending before the statutory authority, this court is not inclined to go into merits of the case. However, this Court has time and again held that statutory authorities seized of quasi-judicial powers must necessarily discharge their functions without protracting matters indefinitely, thereby rendering the statutory remedy availed by the litigants infructuous. 3. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the Revenue Divisional Officer-cum-Appellate Authority, Visakhapatnam to forthwith take up the appeal dated 07.02.2011 filed by the petitioner association against the order dated 31.7.2010 in Inam Case AIP No.53 of 2010 and pass orders after giving due opportunity of hearing to the parties either in the stay application or in the main appeal, as the case may warrant. No order as to costs. __________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J Date: March 04, 2011. Note: Issue C.C. by 07.3.2011. //B.O.// BSB
