THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO: 8970 of 2006 Dated: 27-04-2006 Between: Golla China Apparao ..... PETITIONERS AND The Additional Agent to Government, Rampachodavaram, East Godavari District and three others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO: 8970 of 2006 O R D E R: Second respondent-Special Deputy Collector, Tribal Welfare, Rampachodavaram, by order dated 16-10-2003, passed under Section 3 of the A.P. Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulations 1 of 1959, as amended by Regulation 1 of 1970, ordered eviction of the petitioner, and directed that the land in question be restored to the Government for onward distribution to eligible tribals. Questioning the said order, petitioner preferred C.M.A.No.35 of 2004 before the first respondent-Additional Agent to Government, Rampachodavaram. The said appeal was dismissed by order dated 22-10- 2005, thereby confirming the order of second respondent. Petitioner states that against the said order in C.M.A.No.35 of 2004, he preferred a revision under Section 6 of the A.P. Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulations 1 of 1959, along with an application to grant suspension of the order of eviction. The only grievance of the petitioner is that the fourth respondent-Government of Andhra Pradesh, failed to consider his application for suspension and no orders have been passed so far, but in the meanwhile, respondents are taking steps to dispossess him from the land in his occupation. Hence, this writ petition. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare, appearing for respondents and keeping in view the fact that petitioner had already invoked remedy of revision as provided under the statute, without expressing any opinion on merits, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to fourth respondent, to dispose of the interim application for suspension filed in the revision against the Judgment dated 22-10-2005 in C.M.A.No.35 of 2004, and to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, status quo obtaining as on today as to the nature and possession of the land in question shall be maintained. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ______________ G.
