HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.4599 of 2011 Date: February 25, 2011 Between: Gangannagari Ramanna … Petitioner And 1. The Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad & 3 others. … Respondents * * * HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.4599 of 2011 ORDER: The matter arises under the Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) Estates (abolition and conversion into ryotwari) Act, 1948. The petitioner’s revision under Section 7 (a) of the said Act is pending before the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad against the order passed by the Joint Collector, Chittoor District under Section 5 (2) of the Act 1948. 2. Upon instructions, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue stated that the stay application was still pending before the Appellate Authority. Pertinent to note, the appeal was presented by the petitioner in 2007 along with the stay application. Needless to state, qu​asi-judicial authorities under the statute are required to discharge their functions without being prompted to do so by this Court at every stage. The reality, however, is otherwise. This Court as a matter of course has to deal with cases relating to the inaction on the part of the statutory quasi-judicial authorities in discharging their functions, at the interlocutory or at the final stage. Unless the statutory authority passes orders on interlocutory application expeditiously, the main proceeding pending before such authority runs the risk of being rendered infructuous. 3. There shall accordingly be a direction to the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad to consider the stay application filed by the petitioner along with his appeal after giving due opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned and dispose of the same in accordance with law within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 4. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. No order as to costs. __________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J Date: February 25, 2011.
