Counsel for the Petitioners:MR.BOMMINENI AGA REDDY Counsel for the Respondent: GP FOR REVENUE The Court, at the stage of admission, made the following : ORDER: Petitioners were served with a show cause notice dated 21.03.2005 issued by the respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, Medchal Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, under Rule 3 of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Rules, 1977 thereby calling upon them to show cause as to why they should not be evicted from the lands in S.Nos.526/AA, 526/E and 526/EE admeasuring Ac.1.36 guntas, Ac.2.20 guntas and Ac.1.39 cents respectively, situated at Gowdavally village, Medchal Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, alleging that they are in occupation of the assigned lands. Petitioners state that the allegations made in the show cause notice are incorrect and without any basis and they have submitted their explanation on 21.04.2005. The grievance of the petitioners is that without considering the said explanation and without passing any final order, the respondent is taking steps to dispossess them from the lands in question highhandedly. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondent, and keeping in view the fact that no final order is yet passed, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent not to interfere with the possession of the petitioners in respect of the lands in question till a final order is passed basing on the show cause notice dated 21.03.2005, and the same is communicated to the petitioners. No costs. ____________ 28.04.2005 sh To 1. The Mandal Revenue Officer, Medchal Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. 2. Two C.Cs to the G.P., for Revenue, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad (OUT). 3. 2 CD copies
