HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.24622 of 2011 Date: September 06, 2011 Between: 1. Kondapalli Lakshmi & 96 others. … Petitioners and 1. Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by District Collector, Warangal & 2 others. … Respondents * * * HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.24622 of 2011 O R D E R: The petitioners, aggrieved by the order of resumption passed against them by the Tahsildar, Hanmakonda, third respondent herein, in Proceedings No.B/3365/2011 dated 04.8.2011, filed the present writ petition. 2. The petitioners have several grievances against the said order, but it is neither necessary nor appropriate for this Court to deal with the same under extraordinary jurisdiction in view of the fact that admittedly the said order of the Tahsildar is an appealable order under the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977. Learned counsel for the petitioners justifies his moving of this writ petition on the ground that even before service of the said order, the respondent authorities had tried to implement the same on ground. Learned Government Pleader was therefore asked to get instructions, who now states that the land is vacant on site and except marking it by stones, no further action has been taken by the official respondents and no third party interest has intervened. Learned counsel for the petitioners, however, disputes the said statement and states that the action of resumption even before service of the order of resumption is itself unjustified. 3. Be that as it may, since the order of the Tahsildar, Hanmakonda, is clearly appealable, it would be appropriate to dispose of this writ petition by permitting the petitioners to move appropriate appellate authority by filing an appeal within a period of four weeks from today and till then all the parties shall maintain status quo as it exists as on today for a period of six weeks. The petitioners are at liberty to move appropriate application for interim relief before the appellate authority along with the appeal and if such an application is filed, the appellate authority shall expeditiously dispose of the same in accordance with law. 4. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J Date: September 06, 2011. Note: Issue C.C. in one week //B.O.// BSB
