PETITIONER AND The Special Tahsildar, Land Reforms, Nellore, having its Office At Collector’s Office Compound Achari street, Nellore .....RESPONDENT The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.2293 of 2002 ORDER: Petitioner filed appeal against the order of determination of holdings by the Primary Tribunal under the Andhra Pradesh Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings) Act, 1973 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”). The appeal is filed along with an application seeking condonation of delay of 24 years 10 months and 6 days by contending that though the order of determination was passed in LCC.No.2/NLR/75 dated 25.08.1976, Sec.4A of the Act was introduced in statute by Act 10/77 with retrospective effect on 01.01.1975. The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the above appeal was filed seeking benefit of the aforesaid provision, which was subsequently introduced in the Act. Appeal was, however, dismissed as time barred. Now the learned counsel for the petitioner fairly accepts that instead of filing appeal, petitioner should have been advised to move the Primary Tribunal under the Act seeking benefit of Sec.4A and the filing of the appeal was wrongly advised, and consequently, the learned counsel for the petitioner does not press this civil revision petition by seeking liberty to move the Primary Tribunal, in accordance with law. He also submits that since there is an interim stay operating since 2002, status quo as on now be continued for some time to enable the petitioner to approach the Primary Tribunal for the relief sought for. In the circumstances, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. However, status quo as on now shall be maintained for a period of four weeks, within which, the petitioner is at liberty to move the concerned Primary Tribunal for appropriate relief, in accordance with law. Subject to the aforesaid liberty, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR,J Dated: 02.09.2011 Dsr
