THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No :476 of 2008 DATED:18-01-2008 BETWEEN: Akula Venkatesh & 4 others. ..... PETITIONERS AND The Joint Collector, Chittoor District & 2 others. .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. 2. Petitioners seek a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the 1st respondent in not disposing of the stay petitions filed by the petitioners vide Inward Nos.ROC.E9/12390/2007, dated 13-08- 2007, ROC.E9/11117/2007, dated 28-08-2007, 20-08-2007 and 13- 08-2007 along with the appeal, as illegal, and arbitrary. 3. The only grievance of the petitioners is that they have filed appeals before the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Chittoor District against various orders of the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Madanapalli. It is stated that the 3rd respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer passed orders resuming the lands and against the said orders appeals have been filed and the appellate authority dismissed the appeals against which further appeal has been filed before the 1st respondent. 4. I am of the opinion that no Second Appeal is maintainable but only revision lies under Section 4(B) of the A.P.Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977. However, as the appeals/revisions have been filed along with the stay petitions 1st respondent is directed to consider and dispose of the stay petitions filed by the petitioners in the pending appeals, as expeditiously as possible, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. Accordingly, Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ V.ESWARAIAH,J 18th January, 2008. Tsy
