The petitioner filed an appeal, being C.M.A.No.31 of 2002, under Section 3(3) of the Regulation No.I of 1959. As no orders of stay are passed therein, alleging that there is threat of dispossession, the petitioner filed instant writ petition. This Court, while admitting the writ petition on 08.01.2003, granted status quo. A counter-affidavit is filed by second respondent and the fact that the appeal before the Agent to Government is pending is not denied. Therefore, it is not proper for this Court to express any opinion on the merits of the case. It would be in the interests of justice to direct the appellate authority, first respondent herein, to dispose of C.M.A.No.31 of 2002 filed by the petitioner against the order dated 07.11.2002 in L.T.R.P.No.26 of 2001. This exercise may be completed within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till then there shall be status quo as to the possession if the petitioner is still in possession of the land admeasuring Acs.2.10 in survey No.4/1, Ac.0.58 in survey No.5/2, Acs.5.00 in survey No.6/1, Acs.0.82 in survey No.6/2 and Ac.1.36 in survey No.9/1 situated at Boyapadu Village, Rajavommangi Mandal, East Godavari District.
