THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 3963 of 2009 ORDER: The Mandal Revenue Officer, Renigunta, 3rd respondent herein passed an order, dated 29.09.2006 under Section 4 of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, against the petitioner. The petitioner states that he preferred an appeal before the 2nd respondent herein against the order of the Mandal Revenue Officer way back on 19.01.2007, together with an application for stay. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 2nd respondent did not pass orders either in the appeal or in the stay application for the past two years and he complains that the 3rd respondent is trying to dispossess him from the land. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Two years have elapsed ever since the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 2nd respondent against the order dated 29.09.2006 passed by the 3rd respondent. Within this time, the appeal itself could have been disposed of. If there was any impediment for disposal of the appeal, the application for stay ought to have been considered. In case, the petitioner is dispossessed even while the appeal is pending, nothing remains to be decided. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the land covered by proceedings, dated 29.09.2006, till the 2nd respondent disposes of the appeal preferred by the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 27.02.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 3963 of 2009 Date: 27.02.2009 JSU
