THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.31180 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner’s grievance in this Writ Petition is that the ﬁrst respondent was not passing orders in Appeal No.6880 of 2011 preferred by him against the order passed by the second respondent dated 06.09.2011, resuming the land which the petitioner had purchased through registered sale deed. The proceedings dated 06.09.2011 is an order of resumption. While the petitioner claims that the subject land is not assigned land the order of the Tahsildar, which is still in force, is on the basis that the subject land is government assigned land, and since the original assignee had alienated the said land in favour of the petitioner, the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibitions of Transfers) Act, 1977 was violated necessitating the land being resumed. According to the Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) possession was taken over as early as on 09.09.2011. Sri N. Rajeshwar Rao, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, would, however, assert that there is a standing crop over the subject land, and any delay on the part of the appellate authority in disposing of the appeal would result in the crop withering away resulting in irreparable loss being caused to the petitioner. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) was granted time to obtain instructions. Today she would submit, on instructions, that in so far as the land, which the petitioner has purchased, is concerned it is still fallow, and there is no standing crop over the said land. In view of the said statement, I see no reason to pass any interim order. Suﬃce it to hold that the ﬁrst respondent shall dispose of the petitioner’s appeal at the earliest, in any event not later than 31.12.2011, in accordance with law, and communicate the said order to the petitioner on or before 31.12.2011. The Writ Petition stands disposed of accordingly. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J December 01, 2011 MD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.31180 OF 2011 December 01, 2011 MD
