By an order dated 01.03.2005, this Court disposed of the writ petition directing the Mandal Revenue Officer to take necessary steps in terms of the directions of the District Collector, Karimnagar, on 11.01.2005, whereby and whereunder the Mandal Revenue Officer was directed to take action as per the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short ‘the Act’). Thereafter, the Mandal Revenue Officer issued a notice to the interested persons and passed orders on 10.05.2006. The Mandal Revenue Officer came to the conclusion that the petitioners purchased the assigned lands in Survey No.615 in contravention of the provisions of Section 3(2) of the Act, and accordingly ordered to take possession of the land. This order is assailed in this Writ Petition. Various grounds are urged by the learned Counsel for the petitioners. However, having regard to the questions of fact involved in the matter, this Court is of the considered opinion that at this stage interference is not called for. If so advised, the petitioners may obtain a copy of the order from the Mandal Revenue Officer, Karimnagar, and file an appeal under Section 4-A of the Act before the Revenue Divisional Officer within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As and when such appeal is presented, the appellate authority shall consider the same after issuing notice to the interested persons and pass appropriate orders within a period of six weeks from the date of presentation of the appeal. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 23.06.2006 Note: Issue C.C by 26.06.2006. B/o. vs
