THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.17436 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents. The 2nd respondent herein, passed an order dated 31.5.2006 directing ejectment of the petitioner, in exercise of the powers under Section 3(2) of the A.P. Scheduled Areas (Land Transfer) Regulation 1 of 1959. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent, along with an application to stay the operation of the order of ejectment. The only grievance of the petitioner is that the 1st respondent failed to consider his application for stay, but in the meanwhile, the respondents are taking steps to dispossess him in terms of the order of ejectment. Since the statutory appeal preferred by the petitioner is pending before the 1st respondent, I am of the opinion that it would be appropriate to maintain status quo till the disposal of the appeal. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to dispose of the appeal pending on its file within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, status quo obtaining as on today as to the nature and possession of the land in question shall be maintained. No costs. ______________ (G. ROHINI, J.) 23rd August, 2006.
