PETITIONER(S) AND The Joint Collector, Ranga Reddy District, at Lakdikapool, Hyderabad. .....RESPONDENT Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court will be pleased to to issue Writ Order or Direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of the respondent in not disposing of the Tenancy Appeal No. F2/2182/2003 as arbitrary, illegal and consequently direct the respondent to dispose of the same as expeditiously as possible, and to grant such other relief or reliefs. Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.C.VENKAT YADAV Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 23099 of 2007 Order: The main grievance of the petitioners in this writ petition is that against the orders dated 14.10.2002 passed by the Mandal Revenue Officer, Yacharam Mandal, R.R. District, they preferred an appeal bearing Tenancy Appeal No.F2/2182 of 2003, before the respondent, namely the Joint Collector, Ranga Reddy District at Lakdikapool, Hyderabad, in the month of January 2003, but till date no orders thereon have been passed. Hence, they filed the present writ petition. In spite of granting sufficient time, no instructions are reported by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue in the matter so far. However, since the appeal filed by the petitioners is said to be pending consideration before the respondent, instead of keeping the writ petition pending, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with the following directions: The respondent, namely the Joint Collector, Ranga Reddy District at Lakdikapool, Hyderabad, is directed to consider and dispose of the appeal bearing Tenancy Appeal No. F2/2182/2003, preferred by the petitioners against the orders dated 14.10.2002 passed by the Mandal Revenue Officer, Yacharam Mandal, R.R. Distrist, and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 18.06.2008 Ksr/Nsr
