Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.K.SRINIVAS Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: Questioning the action of the 1st respondent in not granting stay of the 2nd respondent’s orders dated 19.4.2008, the present writ petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the matter is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. It is the case of the petitioner that against the orders passed by the 2nd respondent – Revenue Divisional Officer, Ananthapur, she preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent – Joint Collector, Ananthapur along with a stay petition and so far no orders are passed either in the appeal or on the stay petition. Admittedly, the appeal preferred by the petitioner against the orders passed by the 2nd respondent is pending before the 1st respondent. Therefore, if the orders of the 2nd respondent are not stayed pending disposal of the appeal, the cause of the petitioner may become infructuous. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner against the orders of the 2nd respondent expeditiously and till then the order passed by the 2nd respondent is stayed.
