The petitioner claims to be the owner of Ac.0.98 cents of land comprising Sy.No.32/1 in Konalova village. Proceedings have been initiated for eviction on the ground that her possession is in contravention of the Andhra Pradesh Schedule Areas Land Transfer Regulation 1 of 1959, as amended by Regulation 1 of 1970. The Special Deputy Collector-Primary Authority ordered for ejectment of the petitioner from the land in question. She filed an appeal before the Additional Agent to the Government, Rampachodavaram-2nd respondent and the appeal ended in dismissal. Thereupon, she filed revision before the Government. Pending revision, she apprehended dispossession from the lands in dispute. Hence, she approached this Court invoking the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking protection of her possession over the said land, pending revision. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for the respondent Nos.1 to 4. It is not in dispute that the petitioner filed revision before the Government-1st respondent and revision is pending consideration. Such is the situation, I deem it appropriate to direct the first respondent to dispose of the revision filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible. There shall be status quo with regard to possession pending disposal of the revision or the interlocutory application seeking stay of the operation of the order of ejectment, whichever is earlier. Writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No costs. __________ 27-06-2007 Note: Issue CC by two days. rkk .....
