THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.16529 of 2009 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus to declare the order dated 15.9.2008 passed by the second respondent as arbitrary, illegal and violative of principles of natural justice. 2. There is no necessity of going into all the details. 3. It appears on the representation filed by respondents 4 and 5, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Mancherial, Adilabad District, through his order dated 15.9.2008, cancelled the assignment made in favour of the petitioners. Aggrieved thereby, it appears the petitioners have already carried the matter in appeal along with the stay petition before the Joint Collector, Adilabad. 4. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue for respondents 1 to 3. 5. In the impugned order, it was recorded as under: “The Mandal Revenue Officer (Tahsildar), Jaipur, has conducted the local enquiry and verified the physical possession of the lands and issued a memo to the petitioners that their request for rectification of entry and restoration of lands bearing Survey Nos.175/A and 175/B measuring extent 4.00 & 3.65 acres situated at Elkanti Village is not considerable at this juncture, as the said lands were under possession of respondents” 6. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, the Joint Collector is directed to dispose of the appeal purported to have been filed by the petitioners being aggrieved by the order passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Manchrial, in his proceedings No.B/1437/2005, dated 15.9.2009, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. However, during the pendency of the appeal, status quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained as to the possession of the petitioners over the subject land. 7. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 12.08.2009 Stp
