THE HON'BLE SRI BILAL NAZKI, THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT APPEAL NO.1831 OF 2005 J U D G M E N T (Per the Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, ACJ) The writ petitioners challenged the order dated 04-08-2005 of the Mandal Revenue Officer in the writ petition, which has been dismissed by the learned Single Judge. We have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. The Mandal Revenue Officer ordered taking over of possession of the schedule lands under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Land Encroachment Act, 1905. The order is appealable. Therefore, in our view, the writ petition could not be entertained. We, therefore, dispose of the writ appeal granting liberty to the writ petitioners/appellants to file an appeal against the order of the Mandal Revenue Officer passed on 04-08-2005. Status quo obtaining as on today be maintained by the parties for a period of one month from today to enable the writ petitioners to file an appeal. No order as to costs. _____________________ (Bilal Nazki, ACJ) 5th October, 2005 ___________________ (R.Subhash Reddy,J) vrn
