Respondents ORDER: This petition is ﬁled seeking mandamus declaring the proceedings of the respondents 1 and 2 issued in C.M.A.No.39/97, dated 19-11-1997 conﬁrming the order of the second respondent in LTR No.430/97/MGR, dated 07-07- 1997, as arbitrary and illegal. 2.

It is stated that at the instance of local leaders, the second respondent issued notice dated 05-03-1997 to initiate proceedings under Andhra Pradesh (Scheduled Areas) Land Transfer Rules, 1969 (A.P. Regulation 1 of 1959) read with Reg.1/70.

According to the petitioner as the appeal being C.M.A.No.39 of 1997 preferred by her against the order dated 17-06-1997 was rejected by the ﬁrst respondent without appreciating the merits of her case, she filed the present writ petition. 3. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 4. Having regard to the fact that Section 6 of the A.P.

Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to ﬁle a revision before the appropriate authority i.e. the Government, against the order impugned, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
