THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.30898 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner has prayed that directions be issued to the respondents not to interfere with his peaceful possession and enjoyment of the land admeasuring Acs.51.16 guntas comprised in Survey No.1/1, Damavaram Village, Dagadarthi Mandal, Nellore District. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the fifth respondent - Joint Collector-cum-Settlement Officer, Nellore, vide endorsement, dated 28.05.2007, held that the petitioner is not entitled to ryotwari patta. Against the said endorsement, the petitioner has filed an appeal, which is pending before the Commissioner and Director of Settlements, Hyderabad, wherein status quo has been ordered. Despite there being the order of status quo, the petitioner has not been allowed to cultivate the land. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner is not trying to raise any construction, but he merely wants to cultivate the agricultural land. In view the fact that the appellate authority has ordered the parties to maintain status quo with regard to possession, the petitioner would be entitled to cultivate the land which is agriculture in nature. The petitioner shall, however, not raise any construction in the suit land, except cultivating and harvesting the same. Further, the Commissioner and Director of Settlements, Hyderabad, is directed to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner expeditiously, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________________ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA 01.02.2011 KH/PN
