RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.24264 of 2007 ORDER: It is the case of the petitioners that against the order passed by the 3rd respondent in proceedings in Rc.No.D-641/2007 dated 12-10-2007, in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 4(1) of A.P.Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short “the Act”), in resuming the land admeasuring Ac.2-51 cents in R.S.No.794/1 situated at Perikegudem Village, Mandavalli Mandal, Krishna District, on the ground that the transfer of the said land is in contravention of sub-section (1) and sub-section (2) of Section 3 of the Act, the petitioners filed an appeal along with stay application before the 2nd respondent in the first week of November, 2007 and the same are pending. It is stated that pending disposal of the appeal, the 3rd respondent is taking steps to dispossess the petitioners from the land in question. As the appeal is pending before the 2nd respondent, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that it is just and proper to direct the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal itself. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal filed against the order of the 3rd respondent in proceedings in Rc.No.D-641/2007, dated 12-10- 2007, as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with law. Pending disposal of the appeal, the 3rd respondent is directed not to dispossess the petitioners from the land in question. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 16-11-2007 Prv
