RAO WRIT PETITION No.22792 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner purchased land admeasuring Acs.38.00 in survey No.24 situated at Syedguda Village, Shamshabad Mandal in Ranga Reddy District, from different persons. Respondent No.2 initiated action under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (the Act, for brevity) for contravention of the provisions of the Act. By proceedings dated 17-03-2006, respondent No.2 ordered resumption of the land to the Government on the allegation that the land in possession of the petitioner is assigned land. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed an appeal under Section 4-A of the Act before respondent No.1. It is stated that the matter was heard by respondent on 15-07-2006, but no orders have been passed. Aggrieved by the same, present writ petition is filed. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment), this Court is of the considered opinion that without going into the legality or propriety of respondent No.1 in not passing orders in the appeal filed by the petitioner, a direction can be issued to respondent No.1 to pass appropriate orders within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, if such order is not already passed. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 03rd November, 2006 Note: Issue CC today. B/o ghn
