Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.MUMMANENI.SRINIVASA RAO Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR SOCIAL WELFARE The Court made the following ORDER: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.16798 of 2009 Order: The petitioner claims that his father was the original owner of the land to an extent of Acs.1.00 situated in Survey No. 44/5 of Kapavaram Village, Bhadrachalam Mandal, Khammam District and that patta was also granted in favour of his father by the Settlement Officer, Bhadrachalam vide proceedings, dated 18.09.1980. After the death of his father, the petitioner claims to have succeeded to the same and even the revenue authorities have granted pattadar pass books and title deeds in his favour in respect of the said land in the year 1995. While so, it is the case of the petitioner that at the instance of the fourth respondent, the Agency Divisional Officer-cum-Sub Collector, Bhadrachalam, Khammam District, the second respondent, initiated proceedings against him under Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulations, 1959 and without conducting proper enquiry, passed orders in L.T.R.Case No.1/BCM/2007, dated 27.07.2007, ordering the Tahsildar, Bhadrachalam for ejectment of the petitioner herein and to restore possession of the property in question to the fourth respondent. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner claims to have filed C.M.A.No. 52 of 2008 before the Additional Agent to Government, Bhadrachalam, the first respondent herein, along with an application seeking stay. It is the grievance of the petitioner that though initially the first respondent, by orders, dated 09.06.2008, granted stay of the orders, dated 27.07.2007, passed by the second respondent for a period four months, thereafter he has not extended the same. Hence, the present writ petition. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for the respondents, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: (i) The first respondent, namely, the Additional Agent to Government, Bhadrachalam, is directed to dispose of the main C.M.A., itself preferred by the petitioner against the orders passed by the second respondent, dated 27.07.2007, expeditiously; and (ii) Pending disposal of the C.M.A., by the first respondent, status quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained by both the parties. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date:17.08.2009 VGB
