THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.16529 of 2006 Dated:09.08.2006 Between: S.R.B.Housing Developers Pvt.Ltd. …Petitioners and The Mandal Revenue Officer, Shamshabad Mandal, Ranga Reddy Dist., and others. …Respondents THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.16529 of 2006 ORDER: The first respondent initiated action against the petitioner under Section 4 of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act,1977 (for short ‘the Act’), alleging that the petitioner purchased the property admeasuring Acs.25.00 in Survey Nos.108/AA, 108/E and 108/EE situated at Tondupally Village of Shamshabad Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, which was assigned to one Ravi Goud and M.A.Nazir Khan. The petitioner submitted explanation denying the allegation that it violated Section 3(2) of the Act. After considering the same, the Mandal Revenue Officer passed orders on 15.04.2006 ordering resumption of the land for contravention of the provisions of the Act. Feeling aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the second respondent under Section 4A of the Act. On 08.05.2006, while taking the appeal on file, the second respondent ordered status quo. But on 27.05.2006 on the ground that the petitioner was absent, the status quo order was vacated and the matter was directed to be posted to 17.06.2006 for hearing. Aggrieved by the same, the present Writ Petition is filed. The second respondent vacated the order dated 08.05.2006 on 27.05.2006 vide proceedings No.D/1179/2006, and further directed that the matter be heard on 17.06.2006. Curiously, the petitioner has approached this Court after a lapse of about two months. In a matter of this nature, though the delay is short, it is fatal to the case of the petitioner in the matter of grieving redressal in a Writ Petition. Be that as it is, now that the case of the petitioner is said to be still pending before the Revenue Divisional Officer, it would be in the interest of justice, if a direction is issued to the second respondent to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition, with the above observations and directions, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 09.08.2006 Note: Issue C.C by tomorrow. B/o. vs
