HON'BLE MS.JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No.6253 of 2008 7th September, 2010 Between :- S.Ramagopalachari and others .. Petitioners And Joint Collector, Ranga Reddy District, Hyderabad and others .. Respondents HON'BLE MS.JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No.6253 of 2008 ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed seeking a declaration that the order dated 25-6-2005 passed by the 3rd respondent directing resumption of assigned lands in survey No.23/B admeasuring Ac.1.14 guntas situated in Ahmedguda village, Keesara Mandal, Ranga Reddy District in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 4(1)(a) of the A.P.Assigned Land (POT) Act, 1977, as confirmed in appeal by the 2nd respondent by Order dated 5-11-2007, as illegal and arbitrary. It is not in dispute that against the order of the 2nd respondent, a further remedy of Revision is available and as a matter of fact the petitioners preferred a revision petition before the 1st respondent. Alleging that no orders were passed by the 1st respondent in the Revision Petition and in the meanwhile there was threat of dispossession from the lands in question this Writ Petition has been filed. While directing rule nisi, this Court by order dated 25-3-2008 in W.P.M.P.No.8158/2008 ordered interim suspension of the impugned orders and the same continued to be in force all through. Heard the learned Counsel representing both the parties and perused the material available on record including the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents. Since the proceedings are admittedly pending before the 1st respondent, though I am not inclined to express any opinion on merits, I deem it appropriate to protect the possession of the petitioners till the statutory Revision Petition is decided. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the revision petition, if not already disposed of, after giving due notices to all the parties, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of this order. Till the disposal of the revision petition, the impugned orders shall remain suspended. No costs. _______________ G.ROHINI, J 7th September, 2010 smr
