THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24228 of 2010 Date:29.09.2010 Between: K.M. Selvaraj and another ..... Petitioners AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Principal Secretary and another. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri V.B. Subrahmanyam Counsel for Respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue The Court made the following: ORDER: In this writ petition, the grievance of the petitioners is that respondent No.1 before whom they have filed revision petition against orders of respondent Nos. 2 to 4 by which the lands in their occupation were resumed under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, is not disposing of the stay application filed along with the revision petition filed in July, 2010. Respondent No.1, being the revisional authority, vested with the power to examine the legality, correctness and propriety of the orders passed by the subordinate authorities, is obligated to dispose of the cases filed before it with promptitude. I do not find any justification for respondent No.1 in not disposing of the stay application filed by the petitioners along the revision petition for more than two moths. In this view of the matter, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 to dispose of the petitioners’ stay application if received by it, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of copy of this order. In view of the serious apprehension expressed by the petitioners that they may be dispossessed, the parties are directed to maintain status quo till the application of stay is disposed of by respondent No.1. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.31002 of 2009 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 29th September, 2010 GHN
