The petitioners suffered an order under Section 6 of the A.P.Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (for short ‘the Act’) at the hands of respondent No.4. They have filed four individual appeals, which according to the learned counsel for the petitioners, are numbered as Appeal Nos.3528, 3529, 3530 and 3531 of 2010, and that those appeals are pending before respondent No.3. Their grievance is that in spite of filing of stay applications in the said appeals, they are not being disposed of and respondent No.4 has been seeking to dispossess them. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue submitted that he received oral instructions about sometime back and that according to the said instructions, the appeals are pending. Inasmuch as the appeals are pending before respondent No.3, he shall dispose of the same in accordance with law. Pending the appeals, interests of justice would be met, if the petitioners are not dispossessed from the lands in question. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.3 to dispose of the appeals, if not already done, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If such appeals are not already disposed of, respondent No.4 shall not dispossess the petitioners till the disposal of the appeals. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.32407 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) Date: 25.10.2010. VGB
