Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.S.R.SANKU Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR SOCIAL WELFARE The Court made the following : C O M M O N O R D E R These three writ petitions have been filed by the three petitioners aggrieved by the inaction of the 1st respondent-Government in not granting stay orders, pending disposal of the revisions filed by them against the orders of the Agent to the Government, where the ejectment orders passed by the Special Deputy Collector, Tribal Welfare, Rampachodavaram, East Godavari District, were confirmed. According to the petitioners, they filed revisions under the Statute and pending disposal of the revisions, they sought for protection of their possession from being evicted by the respondents. However, the 1st respondent passed orders mechanically without considering the contentions and even giving valid reasons, and therefore, sought to set aside the impugned orders and direct the respondents not to dispossess them pending disposal of the revisions. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the respondents. As the revisions filed by the petitioners are pending before the 1st respondent and pending the statutory right to be exhausted by the petitioners, it is not appropriate to dispossess the petitioners, as the ejectment orders passed by the Special Deputy Collector, Tribal Welfare have not become final. In order to maintain the same status as it was during the pendency of the proceedings before the lower authorities, the respondents are directed not to evict or eject the petitioners from the possession of the respective extents specified in the orders of the Special Deputy Collector, Tribal Welfare, pending disposal of the revisions filed by them. The 1st respondent-Government is also further directed to dispose of the revisions filed by the petitioners, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above directions, all these writ petitions are disposed of. No costs. ----------------------------------- JUSTICE S.ANANDA REDDY 15TH JUNE, 2005.
