While so, the 4th respondent-the Tahasildar, Maddipadu Mandal passed orders dated 26-09-2007 resuming the said land on the ground that the acquisition of the said land by the petitioners is in contravention of Section 3(1) of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfer ) Act, 1977 ( for short “the Act”). Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners filed an Appeal under Section 4-A of the Act before the 3rd respondent- Revenue Divisional Officer. As the 3rd respondent has not passed any orders on the Appeal, the petitioners filed W.P.19778 of 2008 and this Court by an order dated 11-09-2008 disposed of the writ petition with a direction to maintain status quo obtaining as on the date of order i.e., 11-09-2008. It is now stated that the Appeal was dismissed by an order dated 09-02-2010 upholding the orders of the 4th respondent-Tahasildr dated 26-09-2007. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioners filed Revision along with an application for grant of stay. But the said Revision as well as the application for grant of stay has not yet been taken up and therefore, the writ petition is filed seeking stay of dispossession pending disposal of the Revision. Having regard to the facts of the case, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission directing the 2nd respondent-Joint Collector, Prakasam District to consider and dispose of the revision said to have been filed on 18-03-2010 against the order of the Revenue Divisional Officer dated 09-02-2010 expeditiously and till then status quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained. No costs. ______________ V. ESWARAIAH, J Date: 05-05-2010 TSNR
