THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.624 OF 2008 DATED: 21-01-2008 BETWEEN Kama Shanker, S/o. Ramaiah, Occ: Tea Shop, Near Police Station, Peddapalli, Karimnagar District. …PETITIONER AND The Mandal Revenue Officer, Karimnagar and others. …RESPONDENTS ORDER: Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that as against the resumption order passed by the Mandal Revenue Officer, Karimnagar Mandal in proceedings No.B1/4148/2006 dated 29.12.2006 in resuming the land of an extent of Ac.1.08 guntas situated in Sy.No.245, Teegalaguttapally Village, Karimnagar Mandal and District; the petitioners filed an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Karimnagar, which is numbered as C.C.No.2362 of 2007 and the appeal is still pending. The grievance of the petitioners is that pending disposal of the appeal, they are sought to be dispossessed. 2. I am not inclined to express any opinion as to whether the petitioners were already dispossessed or not and if the petitioners are in possession, it is just and proper to maintain status quo with regard to possession pending disposal of the appeal. 3. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Karimnagar is directed to consider and dispose the appeal in C.C.No.2362 of 2007, filed against the order of the Mandal Revenue Officer in proceedings No.B1/4148/06 dated 29.12.2006, as expeditiously as possible and pending disposal of the appeal status quo obtaining as on today with regard to possession shall be maintained. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V. ESWARAIAH, J January 21, 2008 DSK
