THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO. 2803 of 1998 DATE: 23-02-2007 Between : Pasupula Venkateswaarao … Petitioner And Pasupula Pandanna and 6 others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO. 2803 of 1998 ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning the order, dated 15-05- 1997, passed by the 7th respondent-District Collector-cum-Agent to Government, Visakhapatnam under which the application of the petitioner for appointment of receiver was rejected. This Court, while directing Rule Nisi, ordered that status quo regarding possession obtaining as on that date shall be maintained. The said order dated 05-02-1998 continued to be in operation through out. Though the unofficial respondents 1 to 6 entered appearance, no counter affidavit is filed on their behalf opposing the writ petition. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and since A.O.S.No.35 of 1996 is pending before the 7th respondent, I am not inclined to express any opinion on merits. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 7th respondent to dispose of the appeal pending on his file, if not already disposed of, as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order following due process of law. Till such time, the order of status quo granted by this Court on 05-02-1998 shall continue. No costs. _______________ G. ROHINI, J. Dt. 23-02-2007 KLP
