THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21488 of 2003 ORDER: The ﬁrst petitioner was in possession of land admeasuring Acs.11.84 cents covered by Survey Nos.293/2, 294/A, 326/A, 329/1-A and 329/2 of Kodavaluru Village and Mandal, Nellore District. It is stated that he succeeded to the said land in view of expiry of his father, original tenant. A notice was issued proposing to auction the aforesaid land on 29.09.2003 for grant of leasehold rights for a period of three (3) years. Mainly, the impugned notice was questioned on the ground that the ﬁrst petitioner is a landless poor person within the meaning of Section 82 of the Andhra Pradesh Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987. It is his case that when his application ﬁled before the second respondent - Assistant Commissioner of Endowments, Nellore, seeking to declare him as a landless poor person, is pending consideration, no auction could have been notiﬁed by the respondents. During pendency of the Writ Petition, the second respondent passed order on 25.11.2011 in Rc.No.A1/1844/2003, rejecting the claim of the first petitioner as a landless poor person. Auction itself is notiﬁed for a period of three (3) years. In view of expiry of such period, no relief can be granted in this Writ Petition. However, it is stated that against order, dated 25.11.2011, passed by the second respondent, as the ﬁrst petitioner died during pendency of the Writ Petition, the second petitioner, who is his daughter, is having a right of appeal before the Regional Joint Commissioner. It is open to the second petitioner to approach the appellate authority, by seeking appropriate orders. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to permit the second petitioner to prefer an appeal against order, dated 25.11.2011, if she chooses to do so, within a period of four (4) weeks from today. Further, there shall be a direction to the respondents to maintain status quo with regard to possession of the land in question for a period of six (6) weeks. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 1st DECEMBER, 2011. kvni
