THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1622 of 2008 ORDER: Though the matter is at the interlocutory stage, as it is stated that the appeal filed by the petitioner is pending consideration before the third respondent – Revenue Divisional Officer, Bandar Division, Machilipatnam, Krishna District, the writ petition itself is taken up for being disposed of by this order. Petitioner claims purchase of land admeasuring Acs.3.92 cents covered by R.S.No.368 situated at Bandar West within the municipal limits of Machilipatnam, from Sri Ghantasala Uday Bhasker, vide registered sale deed, dated 07.08.2002. It is stated that when he applied for grant of pattadar passbook and to mutate his name in the revenue records as per the sale deed obtained by him, the fourth respondent – Tahsildar, Machilipatnam Mandal, Krishna District, rejected the claim of the petitioner on 07.09.2007 in Rc.B.1674/2007 stating that the said land in C.C.No.2062/D/75 is an excess land which belongs to Sri Nagarapuri Durga Bhavani Mahishasura Mardini Ammavaru. It is the grievance of the petitioner that as against endorsement, dated 31.07.2007, made by the fourth respondent in Rc.B.973/2007, he preferred appeal before the third respondent on 06.11.2007 and pending the appeal, the respondent authorities were taking steps to distribute the said land by dividing it into plots. The writ petition was filed in January, 2008. Notice was ordered in WPMP. There was no interim order. As it is stated that the petitioner has carried the matter in appeal and the same is pending consideration before the third respondent, I deem it appropriate to direct the third respondent to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner on 06.11.2007, if it is not disposed of as on today, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of two (2) months from today. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 9th JUNE, 2011. kvni
