ORDER: The 2nd petitioner is President of 1st petitioner Society, namely, Remidicherla Grama Rythu Samudayaka Ramana Sangham, Remidicherla (Sangham, for brevity). It is their case that the land to an extent of Ac.328.24 cents in Sy.Nos.313, 314, 372, 376 and 392 situated at Remidicherla village, Khammam District, was originally patta land belonging to M/s.Chennamraju, Krishnam Raju, Samineni Venkaiah, Borra Venkaiah, Veeraswami and Yellanki Rajaiah and others. As there was no grazing land in the village, these persons set apart the said land for grazing purposes. The villagers formed into a committee/society, the Sangham herein, and the affairs of Sangham are regulated by Managing Committee. It appears in 1964, an extent of Acs.16.41 was acquired by Railways, for which the Sangham claimed compensation, which was paid to it. Be that as it may, the Tahsildar, Yerrupalem Mandal, Khammam District, the 3rd respondent herein, initiated action under Andhra Pradesh Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (the Act, for brevity) and passed orders under Section 6 of the Act on 28.09.2007 for removal of encroachment by petitioners. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners preferred appeal under Section 10 of the Act before the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Khammam, and the same was dismissed by order dated 10.08.2009. Against the said order of the 2nd respondent, the petitioners filed Revision Petition No.30 of 2009 before the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Khammam, on 19.09.2009. Subsequently, on 16.10.2009, the Society filed I.A.No.19 of 2009 in the said revision seeking to suspend the operation of the order of the 3rd respondent. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents are making arrangements to distribute the said lands to landless poor persons, even while their revision petition as also the I.A. are pending adjudication before the 1st respondent. Hence, this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits, the 1st respondent, namely, the Joint Collector, Khammam, is directed to dispose of the Revision Petition No.30 of 2009 purported to have been filed by the petitioners on 19.09.2009 within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, the respondents are directed to maintain status quo existing as on today as to the possession of the petitioner Society over the lands in question. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 03.11.2009 Note: Issue CC in four days B/o v v
