THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.687 of 2010 ORDER: The Tahsildar, Sircilla, the second respondent herein, initiated proceedings against the petitioner under Section 3 of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act 1977 (for short ‘the Act’). Through an order, dated 22.06.2007, he directed resumption of the land from the petitioner. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner filed an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Sircilla, the first respondent herein. The appeal was rejected on 31.12.2009. Thereupon, the petitioner presented a revision before the District Collector, Karimnagar, the third respondent herein, under Section 4-B(3) of the Act. He has also filed an application for stay. The grievance of the petitioner is that the third respondent has not taken up the application for stay so far and in the meanwhile, the second respondent is trying to dispossess him from the land. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The observation made by the second respondent that the land purchased by the petitioner is not ceiling surplus is brought to the notice of this Court. That, however, is a matter which needs to be considered by the third respondent. The petitioner has availed the remedy of revision as provided for under the Act. In case he is dispossessed from the land even while the revision is pending, the very purpose of filing the same would be defeated. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the land in question, till the third respondent disposes of the revision filed before him. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:22.01.2010 Note: Issue cc in three days. (B/o) kdl
