IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.18283 of 2007 DATED 29-8-2007 BETWEEN Smt.P.Vijaya Lakshmi. .. Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer-cum-Appellate Authority, Ranga Reddy East Division, Ranga Reddy District at Hyderabad and others. .. Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.18283 of 2007 Oral Order: Respondents 3 and 4 herein filed an application before the second respondent under Section 5-A of the A.P.Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (‘ the Act’ for brevity) seeking regularization of an agreement of sale in respect of the land in Survey No.491 admeasuring Ac.5.22 guntas situate in Thimmapur Village of Kandukar Mandal in Ranga Reddy District. By an order dated 29.8.2006, the second respondent passed orders in favour of the contesting respondents. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal under Section 5-B of the Act before the first respondent on 12.4.2007 along with an application for stay of the proceedings of the second respondent, in vein. Therefore, he filed the instant writ petition seeking a direction to the first respondent to dispose of the appeal in a time bound manner and also to consider the application for stay. In the considered opinion of this Court, a writ petition seeking a direction to quasi-judicial appellate authorities to adhere to a time schedule would not lie. There is no such law, which compels an authority to pass orders whether administrative or quasi-judicial within a time frame. It is of course a different matter when there is extraordinary delay which itself might be arbitrary. This aspect of the matter has been considered by this Court in Mir Fazle Ali Nasiri v. State of A.P[1]. Further, after getting instructions, the learned Assistant Government Pleader submits that the matter now stands posted before the first respondent on 1.9.2007. This Court observes that on that day, the first respondent shall dispose of the matter without giving further adjournments to respondents 3 and 4. If for any unavoidable situation or reason the matter requires adjournment, the first respondent shall pass interlocutory orders immediately on that day. Liberty is given to the petitioner to approach the first respondent with a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. __________​_____ V.V.S.RAO,J Dated 29.8.2007 Note: Dispatch the order by tomorrow B/o msv [1] 2007(2) ALD 3
