HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.5270 of 2011 Date: March 04, 2011 Between: Goli Srinivas … Petitioner And 1. The District Collector & Magistrate Karimnagar District & 3 others. … Respondents * * * HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.5270 of 2011 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner is with regard to the inaction of the District Collector and Magistrate, Karimnagar District, in passing orders upon his revision petition dated 06.12.2010 filed under Section 9 of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbook Act, 1971 against the order dated 31.10.2007 passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Karimnagar, in Appeal No.D/4659/2005. 2. As the matter is pending before the statutory authority, this court is not inclined to go into merits of the case. However, this Court has time and again held that statutory authorities seized of quasi-judicial powers must necessarily discharge their functions without protracting matters indefinitely, thereby rendering the statutory remedy availed by the litigants infructuous. 3. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the District Collector and Magistrate, Karimnagar District to forthwith take up the revision dated 06.12.2010 filed by the petitioner against the order dated 31.10.2007 in Appeal No.D/4659/2005 and forthwith pass orders after giving due opportunity of hearing to the parties either in the stay application or in the main revision, as the case may warrant. No order as to costs. __________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J Date: March 04, 2011. BSB
