(Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977. It is the case of the petitioner that he purchased the said land from one V.Gowrinath, who in turn purchased the said land from Shaik Shafiq Ahmed. It is stated that the legal heirs of the original assignee sold the said land in favour of Shaik Shafiq Ahmed. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the land in question is not assigned in favour of the landless poor but it is assigned in favour of Babu Rao Joshi being political sufferer. Therefore, the provisions of the Act apply in respect of the lands assigned to landless poor only but not to the political sufferers. It is stated that aggrieved by the resumption order, dated 16- 01-2004, the petitioner filed an appeal before the 2nd respondent. However, the 2nd respondent dismissed the appeal through order, dated 17-10-2007, in File No.D/1515/2007. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed a revision before the 1st respondent and the said revision is numbered as File No. E1/7121/07 and pending on the file of the 1st respondent. As the revision is pending, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that it is just and proper to direct the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the revision. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the revision pending in File No.E1/7121/07, as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with law.
