Smt.Immambee’s husband, Mustafa Saheb, was assigned the said land by proceedings dated 08.08.1966 in Ex- Serviceman quota as per the orders of the Government in G.O.Ms.No.1117, dated 11.11.1993. On an allegation that the assignee transferred the land, the Tahsildar, Anantapur, resumed the land on 10.02.2005. Petitioner and others filed appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Anantapur, who remanded the matter to the Tahsildar on 15.05.2006. Against the said order, Rural Agriculture Integrated Development Society filed appeal before the second respondent, which was allowed on 28.06.2008. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner and others filed a revision petition before the Government on 25.07.2008 along with application for stay. As no orders are passed, the present writ petition is filed. This Court heard the preliminary arguments on 28.11.2008 and 10.12.2008. After getting instructions, learned Assistant Government Pleader submitted that necessary orders are being passed in the appeal. Therefore, the matter was adjourned. Today, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) submits that orders have not yet been passed either in the main revision petition or stay petition. Therefore, this Court is of considered opinion that first respondent should pass appropriate orders of stay immediately in the revision petition filed by the petitioner and others. It is also open to the Government to pass final orders in the revision petition within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 12.12.2008 vs To 1 The Principal Secretary (Revenue), State of A.P., Secretariat Buildings Hyderabad 2 The Joint Collector Anantapur District 3 2CCs to G.P for Revenue, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad. 4 2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{BMR}
