No. A/472/2001, dated 17-5-2001 and in the aforesaid proceedings the Mandal Revenue Officer mentioned that as per the direction of the Revenue Divisional Officer, dated 15-5-1999 he has effected changes into the revenue records of the Survey number in question in favour of the 4th respondent herein and in the impugned proceedings he had directed the petitioner to hand over the possession of the land to the 4th respondent within two days. The petitioner is concerned with Item No.1 i.e. Survey No. 140 admeasuring Ac. 0-25 guntas. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner who has brought to my notice that he is not party to the proceedings before the Revenue Divisional Officer instituted by the 4th respondent for mutation of her name being Proceeding NO. E/5478/96, dated 15-5-1999. As such, he is not bound by any adjudication therein. It is also alleged that the 4th respondent herself has later filed O.S.No. 25 of 2000 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge, Medak for declaration of title, recovery of possession and for perpetual injunction. It is obvious that in view of the said civil suit the respondent-revenue authority have to await the final adjudication of the said civil suit and the revenue record will have to confirm as per the decree in the said civil suit as would be finally granted. This Court while admitting the writ petition granted interim stay on 8- 6-2001 which is operative even today. The civil suits referred to above appears to have been tried and disposed of and the appeal is said to be pending. In view of the same, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to await the final adjudication of the civil suit and said decree and accordingly, implement the revenue records according to the said decree. Writ petition is accordingly allowed as indicated above. No order as to costs. ___________________________ Justice Vilas V.Afzulpurkar 16th December, 2008.
