THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No. 14111 OF 2011 Date: 18-05-2011 Between N. Niranjan Reddy …..Petitioner And The Tahsildar, Penumur Mandal, Chittoor District and three others …..Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No. 14111 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard Sri G. Seena Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignments) and at their request, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. The proceedings of the 1st respondent, dated 05-05-2011 in cancelling the DKT patta granted on 18-01-1933 and resuming the land to the Government after a lapse of 71 years is under challenge in this writ petition. Sri G. Seena Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner would fairly state that the petitioner had preferred an appeal against the said order of the 1st respondent before the 2nd respondent along with an application seeking stay, pending disposal of the appeal. As an appeal had already been filed before the 2nd respondent, it is not open to the petitioner to agitate his grievance simultaneously in parallel proceedings before this Court. The only relief that can be granted in such circumstances is to direct the 2nd respondent to pass orders on the stay application filed by the petitioner. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to decide the stay application filed by the petitioner, in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders thereupon, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
