HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.11374 of 2008 ORDER : The Tahsildar, Martur, initiated proceedings against the petitioner under the provisions of A.P.Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Act’ for brevity). The petitioner submitted explanation and on consideration of the same, the Tahsildar passed an order directing resumption of the land, holding that the transfer in favour of the petitioner is hit by the provisions of the Act. Petitioner availed the remedy of appeal before the R.D.O., Ongole and also filed an application for stay. His grievance is that even while the appeal as well as the application for stay are pending before the R.D.O., the Tahsildar is taking steps to evict him. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. Once the petitioner has availed the remedy of appeal provided under the Act, his interests need to be protected. If he is evicted from the land and the land is resumed to the Government on the basis of the orders passed by the Tahsildar, nothing remains to be decided in the appeal and the appeal would become redundant. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the order of resumption passed by the Tahsildar against the petitioner, shall remain stayed till the R.D.O. disposes of the appeal. _______________ 29th May 2008.
