The 3rd respondent- Agency Divisional Officer, Bhadrachalam passed an order giving a finding that the possession of the petitioner is hit by Section 3 of Regulation 1 of 1959, and ordered for his eviction on 27th April, 2007. Questioning the said order, the petitioner preferred an appeal being CMA No.226 of 2007 before the 2nd respondent- Additional Agent to Government & Project Officer, ITDA, Bhadrachalam and the said appeal was dismissed. Questioning the said order passed by the appellate authority, the petitioner approached the Government of Andhra Pradesh, which is the revisional authority by filing a revision. According to the petitioner, along with the said revision, he also filed an application seeking suspension of the orders passed by the Agency Divisional Officer, Bhadrachalam as confirmed by the appellate authority i.e., Additional Agent to Government & Project Officer, but, so far no orders have been passed. Questioning the same, the petitioner approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court is of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of, at the admission stage, inasmuch as the revision is very much pending before the 1st respondent. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the stay application filed along with the revision within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. During the interregnum, the petitioner shall not be evicted from the land in question. No costs. __________ 18-12-2008 Note: Issue order copy by Wire at party’s costs. (B.O) rkk
