Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.P.VEERA REDDY Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 and 2 : GP FOR REVENUE Not present Counsel for the Respondent No.3: None appeared The Court made the following : ORDER: Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner. No body appears for the respondents. The only grievance of the petitioner is that assignment of land in his favour, was cancelled. He challenged the orders in different forums and finally a revision was pending before the Government. While entertaining the revision, stay was granted. Third respondent moved an application before the Government and vacated the order of stay on 26-6-1995, even without hearing the petitioner. After the writ petition was filed in this Court on 26-9-1995, this Court granted interim directions, as such it is presumed that the petitioners must be in possession of the land even as on today. Since the Government vacated the stay without notice to petitioner, the impugned order cannot sustain. Therefore, I quash the order passed by the Government vacating the stay and direct the Government to dispose of the revision, after hearing the parties within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the observation as above, Writ Petition is allowed. No costs. -------------- 5th August, 2004 LUR That Rule Nisi has been made absolute as above.
