THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.11216 of 2011 ORDER: The Tahasildar, Burgampad, the 2nd respondent, initiated proceedings, against the petitioner, under the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977. An order of resumption was passed on 15.03.2012. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Paloncha, the 1st respondent, together with an application for stay. This writ petition is filed alleging that the 1st respondent did not take up the application for stay and that in the meanwhile, the 2nd respondent is trying to dispossess him. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. While issuing notice before admission, on 19.04.2012, this Court directed that status quo obtaining as on that date as regards possession shall be maintained till 15.06.2012. The same was extended thereafter. If the petitioner is dispossessed from the land, even while the appeal is pending, the very purpose of preferring it would be defeated. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the land, till the 1st respondent passes orders in the appeal. The appeal shall be taken up for hearing and shall be disposed of, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after hearing both the parties. The miscellaneous petition filed in this writ petition also stands disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J.
