THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.21747 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: The Special Deputy Collector, Tribal Welfare, Bhadrachalam, passed an order dated 1.2.2006, in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 3(2)(a) of the A.P. Scheduled Areas (Land Transfer) Regulation 1 of 1959, directing ejection of the writ petitioner from the land to an extent of Ac.3.00 gts situated in Sy.No.49/1 at Mallaram village, Manuguru mandal, Khammam district. Aggrieved by the same the petitioner preferred an appeal before the Additional Agent to Government & Project Officer, I.T.D.A., Bhadrachalam. It is alleged that though the appeal has been taken on file, the application filed by the petitioner for stay of operation of the order of ejectment passed by the Special Deputy Collector, Tribal Welfare, has not been considered. The petitioner pleads that in the meanwhile, the order of ejectment passed by the 1st respondent is being executed and the petitioner is likely to be dispossessed. Hence, this writ petition. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for respondents 1 and 2 and having regard to the fact that the statutory appeal is pending before the 2nd respondent, I am of the opinion that it would be appropriate to maintain status quo as to the nature and possession of the land in question till the disposal of the appeal. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to dispose of the appeal pending on its file as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, status quo obtaining as on today as to the nature and possession of the land covered by the order of ejectment dated 1.2.2006 in L.T.R.Case No.357/2005/MGR passed by the Special Deputy Collector shall be maintained. No costs. ______________ (G. ROHINI, J.) 23rd October, 2006. Issue CC by tomorrow. Kgr THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.21747 OF 2006 23rd October, 2006.
