THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 492 of 2010 Between: Kodavati Lakshmi …… Petitioner and The Addl. Agent to the Government, Rampachodavaram, East Godavari District & others ….. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 492 of 2010 O R D E R: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare. The petitioner asserts that her father late Sri Maddipati Venkatarao purchased the land in an extent of Ac.12.28 cents in Survey No. 34/1 of Pidatamamidi Village, Gangavaram Mandal, East Godavari District under a registered sale deed, dated 05.01.1966, out of which, the land admeasuring Ac.6.90 cents was gifted to her at the time of marriage and since then, she has been in its possession and enjoyment. While so, the 4th respondent filed a petition under Section 3(1) of the Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation 1/59, as amended by Regulation No. 1/70 seeking restoration of Ac.3.00, before the 2nd respondent, who, after conducting enquiry, dismissed the same on 08.10.2002. Aggrieved thereby, the 4th respondent filed an appeal, CMA No. 122 of 2005 before the 1st respondent – Additional Agent to the Government and the said appeal was allowed, by order dated 02.04.2009 directing the 3rd respondent to evict the petitioner from the land in question and restore the same to the Government. Challenging the same, the petitioner preferred a revision, along with an application seeking stay of the appellate authority’s order. It is asserted that the Government of Andhra Pradesh, for one reason or the other, is not in a position to take up the revision preferred and no interlocutory orders could be obtained by the writ petitioner. In the meantime, the Special Deputy Tahasildar and his subordinate officers are threatening the writ petitioner to vacate from out of the scheduled land. Therefore, the present writ petition has been instituted. The case of the petitioner is that her father purchased the land in question by way of a registered sale deed dated 05.01.1966 and since then, her father and thereafter, herself has been in possession and enjoyment of the same. Further, when once a revision is preferred to the Government, it is only expected that it will be attended to at the earliest convenient time. If the revision itself cannot be decided, the interlocutory application moved by the parties seeking urgent interim orders could be attended to in the meantime. In these set of circumstances, I consider it appropriate to direct the Government to entertain, hear and decide the revision preferred against the orders of the Additional Agent to the Government dated 02.04.2009 as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with the regulations. Till such time, the respondents are directed not to interfere with the possession and enjoyment of the petitioner over the land in question. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ---------------------------- (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) 20th January 2010 ksld .....
