THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 11499 OF 2011 O R D E R: This Writ Petition is directed against an order passed by the 1st respondent Joint Collector, Anantapur on 03.03.2011, rejecting the stay petition moved by the writ petitioner pending the Revision, preferred against the orders passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Penukonda on 06.11.2010. It will be relevant to notice that the Revenue Divisional Officer has inspected the lands on 09.09.2010 and conducted a formal enquiry there. The writ petitioner was also present at that enquiry and the land in question was found to be adjoining the village and there is proof that the land was used as a burial ground in the past. Further, he also found the land to be lying waste for the past four to five years and the soil is also saline and not fit for cultivation. In those circumstances, the Revenue Divisional Officer has cancelled the assignment made in favour of the writ petitioner herein assigning him the land in question on 26.03.1990. There is no whisper about the inspection carried out by the Revenue Divisional Officer on 09.09.2010 at the site and there is also no whisper in the affidavit filed in support of this Writ Petition that the land in question has already been brought under cultivation. Therefore, the Joint Collector, in my opinion, has rightly assessed the balance of convenience as not lying in favour of the writ petitioner herein and hence, I cannot find fault with the Joint Collector dismissing the interim injunction application moved pending the Revision. It is needless to observe that in case the writ petitioner succeeds in the Revision preferred by him, appropriate steps, I am sure, will be taken by the revenue administration to put the writ petitioner back in possession of the land. Hence, this Writ Petition is dismissed at the admission stage. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 25th April 2011 ksld
