HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.7002 of 2011 Date: March 29, 2011 Between: Komaram Babu Rao, S/o.Ramudu, Aged 46 years, Occ: Cultivation, R/o.Reddyganapavaram village, Buttayagudem Mandal, West- Godavari District … Petitioner And Agent to the Government-cum-District Collector, West Godavari District at Eluru and another … Respondents Order: Proceedings were initiated for eviction at the instance of the Special Deputy Tahsildar, Tribal Welfare, K.R.Puram, West Godavari District, in Case S.R.No.64 of 2007 on the file of the Special Deputy Collector (FAC) Tribal Welfare, K.R.Puram, West Godavari District against the second respondent herein over an extent of Ac.6.06 cents covered by R.S.No.627 of Buttayagudem Revenue village. The said authority, by order dated 24-03-2008, rejected the claim made by the Special Deputy Tahsildar. It is stated that against the said order, petitioner herein filed an appeal before the first respondent-Agent to Government-cum-District Collector, West Godavari on 01-08-2009 along with an application for condonation of delay. It is the grievance of the petitioner that the appellate authority has not considered the appeal and did not pass any orders. Based on the written instructions sent by the District Collector, West Godavari, vide letter dated 22-03-2011, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader that the petitioner herein is not a party to the proceedings initiated in Case S.R.No.64 of 2007; as such he is not aggrieved so as to file an appeal against the order dated 24-03-2008. It is submitted by learned counsel for the second respondent too that the petitioner has no locus to question the order dated 24-03-2008 as he is not a party to the eviction proceedings. Although it is stated that appeal was filed by the petitioner on 01-08-2009, aggrieved of the order dated 24-03- 2008, there is no communication to the petitioner as regards any objection by the appellate authority. In the circumstances, I dispose of the writ petition directing the first respondent/appellate authority to pass a reasoned order in the appeal filed by the petitioner against the order dated 24-03-2008 as expeditiously as possible preferably within two months from the date of receipt of this order by affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner as well as the second respondent. No order as to costs. However, it is open to the appellate authority to examine the maintainability of appeal while passing orders. __________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J March 29, 2011 MRR
