THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.32087 of 2010 Date: 21.12.2010 Between: Vempati Nageswara Rao ..... Petitioner AND The Additional Agent to the Government, Rampachodavaram, and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri K. Venkatesh Counsel for Respondents: None appeared The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in seeking to evict the petitioner from his lands admeasuring Hec.1.55, Hec.0.27 and Hec.1.68 in survey Nos.100/3, 101/6 and 102/2 respectively of Indukurupeta Village, Devipatnam Mandal, East Godavari District, in pursuance of the order of respondent No.2 in LTRP Nos.178 and 179 of 2007 pending disposal of the appeal filed before respondent No.1 as illegal and arbitrary. A perusal of the record shows that by order dated 11.10.2010, respondent No.2 ordered for the petitioner’s ejection under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation No.I of 1959 as amended by Regulation No.I of 1970 from the lands referred to above. It is the pleaded case of the petitioner that assailing the said ejection order, he filed an appeal under Rule 8(2) of the Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Rules, 1969 before respondent No.1 and that along with the said appeal, he also filed an application for stay. The grievance of the petitioner is that while the said appeal and the application for stay are pending, efforts are being made by respondent Nos.3 and 4 to evict the petitioner from the lands in his occupation. At the hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner placed reliance on the order dated 06.12.2007 passed by this Court in W.P.No.25994 of 2007, wherein in similar circumstances, this Court, while directing disposal of the appeal as expeditiously as possible, stayed eviction of the petitioner therein till such disposal of the appeal. In the light of the above facts, this Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 to dispose of the petitioner’s appeal within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such disposal, the petitioner shall not be evicted from the lands in question. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.40783 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 21st December, 2010 GHN
