It is the case of the petitioner that for the welfare of poor children, a children home was started in 1969 at the place, and by an order dated 19.09.1975 the Settlement Officer, Narsipatnam, granted a patta under Section 8 of the Andhra Pradesh Muttas (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Regulation, 1969, read with Rule 17 of the Andhra Pradesh Muttas (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Rules, 1970. Since then and even prior thereto, they are in possession of the land. The first respondent herein initiated action under Section 3 of the Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation, 1959, as amended by Regulation I of 1970, and issued notice in Form-E under Rule 7(2) of the Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Rules, 1969. The petitioner submitted explanation and the enquiry is pending before the first respondent. It is alleged that at the behest of third parties, the third respondent is interfering with the possession and is trying to dispossess while the matter is pending before the first respondent. Therefore, the present Writ Petition is filed seeking an order to protect the possession. After hearing the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Andhra Area) and perusing the material, this Court is convinced that as the matter is pending before the first respondent under the relevant Regulation, until the same is disposed of, if the petitioners are in possession of the property, the third respondent cannot interfere with the possession. The Writ Petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 10.03.2010 Note: Issue C.C by 15.03.2010. B/o. vs
