PETITIONERS AND 1 The Joint Collector, Ongole, Prakasam District and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 14559 of 2005 O R D E R: This writ petition has been filed by the petitioners assailing the action of the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Ongole, Prakasam District, in not passing any orders on the application moved by them on 20-06-2005, seeking stay of operation of the order dated 06-06-2005 passed by the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Kandukur, on an appeal filed under the provisions of the A.P. Pattadar Passbook Act, 1971. The petitioner also moved W.P.M.P.No.18475 of 2005. This Court while issuing Rule nisi in the writ petition granted interim stay on 06-07-05. 4th respondent filed W.V.M.P. No.2098 of 2005 with a prayer to vacate the interim stay granted in W.P.M.P.No.18475 of 2005. When the vacate stay petition came up for hearing, with the consent of both the parties, the writ petition itself is taken up for hearing. Heard the learned counsel for both the parties. The petitioners challenged the orders passed by the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Kandukur, by filing a revision before the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Ongole. They moved an application seeking interim stay of the operation of the order passed by the 2nd respondent. Since the revisional authority has not passed any orders on the stay application, the petitioners approached this Court by invoking the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. In view of the fact that the matter is still pending for adjudication at the hands of the revisional authority, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the revisional authority to dispose of the revision filed by the petitioners within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. __________ 01-02-2006 Mjl/*
