It is stated that pending disposal of the appeal, the Tahsildar, Adilabad, is taking steps to dispossess the petitioner from the land in question. As the appeal is pending, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that it is just and proper to direct the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal itself. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal filed against the order of the 2nd respondent, dated 20-09-2007, in proceedings No.C/1392/2007, as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with law. Pending disposal of the appeal, status-quo obtaining as on today with regard to the possession of the land in question shall be maintained. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 20-12-2007 Prv
