HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18669 of 2010 Dated: 09-08-2010 Between: Sagi Venkata Satyanarayana Raju & others. … Petitioners And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Vizianagaram & another. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18669 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the only grievance of the petitioners is about the inaction on the part of 1st respondent-appellate authority in not numbering the appeal and stay petition filed by them on 9th of July 2010. The competent authority under the provisions of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfer) Act, 1977, passed eviction orders on 2nd of February 2010 against the petitioners. It is stated that the same was communicated to the petitioners on 8th of May 2010. It is stated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition that the petitioners have filed an appeal before the 1st respondent-appellate authority on 9th of July 2010 along with stay petition, but, neither the appeal nor the stay petition are numbered, and on the other hand, respondents are taking steps for eviction of petitioners. When the matter came up earlier on 2nd and 4th of August 2010, it was adjourned to enable the learned Government Pleader to get instructions. When the matter is called today, it is stated that the appeal filed by the petitioner is already numbered and posted for hearing along with the application for stay, to 21st of August 2010. In view of the statement made by the learned Government Pleader that the appeal of the petitioners is already numbered and posted 21st of August 2010 for hearing, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition, permitting the petitioners to pursue the appeal before the appellate authority. However, respondents are directed not to dispossess the petitioners from the land in question, till orders are passed on the stay application filed by them. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 9th August 2010 ajr
