Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.CHINDAMANJANEYULU Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORAL ORDER: The petitioners claim to have purchased small extents of land as house plots in Sy. Nos. 233/AHA, situated at Nizampet village, Quthubullapur Mandal, Rangareddy District, from one Mr. K.Rukka Reddy and others. Their grievance is that the respondents 1 and 2 are trying to interfere with their possession at the instance of the third respondent. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue obtained instructions at the stage of admission and has placed a copy of the order dated 14.3.2008 passed by the first respondent under the A.P. Assigned Land (Prohibition of Transfer) Act, 1977. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioners appear to have purchased the plots from the land in Sy. No. 233/AHA, Nizampet village, not being aware of the fact that it was assigned. The first respondent initiated proceedings under the Act against the original assignee by name K.Malla Reddy, as well as his vendees. It is not known as to how the land has passed on to the vendors of the petitioners. Be that as it may, now that an order under the Act has been passed in respect of the land, the petitioners can avail the remedy of appeal under Sec. 4-B of the Act before the Revenue Divisional Officer. Appeal, if presented by the petitioner within two weeks from today, shall be entertained, though they are not parties to the original proceedings. Pending disposal of the appeal, status quo obtaining as on today, as regards their possession, shall be maintained. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ___________________ L.Narasimha Reddy, J. May 29, 2008 MAS/PNV ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.2CCs to 2.2CD copies
