Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.K.VENKATESH Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR ENDOWMENTS The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NO : 28194 of 2008 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner is that no orders are being passed in his revision petition filed along with an application for stay before the 5th respondent. The case of the petitioner is that he is a tenant in respect of the premises bearing D.No.7-23-13, Baruvari Street, Rajahmundry, East Godavari District belonging to the 4th respondent-Choultry. After expiry of the lease period of three years by 30.06.2005, the petitioner is continuing as a tenant, by paying rent at the rate of Rs.1400/- per month. It is alleged that the 4th respondent filed O.A.No.79 of 2006, in which eviction orders were passed by the 2nd respondent. As against the same, the petitioner preferred a revision before the 1st respondent and it was dismissed on 22.10.1998. As against the same, the petitioner has preferred a further revision under Section 93 of the A.P. Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act 30 of 1987 before the 5th respondent-Government on 21.11.2008 along with an application for stay. Apprehending dispossession in the meantime, the petitioner has approached this Court. Since the revision petition along with an application for stay is pending before the 5th respondent-Government, I deem it appropriate to direct that the said revision petition and/or stay petition be disposed of expeditiously by the 5th respondent preferably within a period of three (3) months from today. Pending orders of the 5th respondent as above, there shall be stay of eviction of the petitioner, on condition that he deposits arrears of rent, if any, and continues to pay the monthly rent of Rs.1400/- per month. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 26.12.2008 JSU .....
