THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.647 OF 2008 DATED: 21-01-2008 BETWEEN Samanthula Ramakrishna, S/o. Sri Varahalu, Rajayyapet Village, Rajam Mandal, Srikakulam District. …PETITIONER AND The Revenue Divisional Officer, Palakonda Mandal, Palakonda, Srikakulam District and another. …RESPONDENTS ORDER: Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as against the resumption order passed by the Tahsildar, Rajam Mandal, Srikakulam District in proceeding No.131 of 2007 dated 03.08.2007 in resuming the land of an extent of Ac.0.66 cents situated in Sy.No.2.7 of Gopalapuram Village, Rajam Mandal, Srikakulam District, the petitioner filed an Appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer and in fact, the RDO issued a notice in SR.No.9/2007/B dated 23.11.2007 fixing the date of hearing on 10.12.2007. He further submits that the appeal is still pending. 2. I am not inclined to express any opinion as to whether the said appeal is still pending and even before the appeal is considered and disposed of, whether the petitioner is dispossessed or not. However, if the appeal is pending, it is just and proper to maintain status quo with regard to possession obtaining as on today. 3. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the first respondent is directed to consider and dispose the appeal said to have been pending in SR.No.9/2007/B, which is said to have been filed against the resumption order of the Tahsildar, Rajam dated 03.08.2007 and pending disposal of the appeal status quo obtaining as on today with regard to possession shall be maintained. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V. ESWARAIAH, J January 21, 2008 DSK
