THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.19564 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: The 3rd respondent herein in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 3(2)(a) of the A.P. Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation 1 of 1959, by order dated 18.5.2006 in S.R.No.15 of 2005 directed ejectment of the petitioners. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners preferred an Appeal before the 1st respondent along with an application for stay of the order of ejection. The only grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that the 1st respondent failed to consider their application for stay and in the meanwhile, the order of ejection dated 18.5.2006 is sought to be implemented. Hence, the writ petition. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents 1 to 3 and having regard to the fact that a statutory appeal is pending before the 1st respondent, I am of the opinion that it would be appropriate to maintain status quo till the Appeal on the file of the 1st respondent is decided. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the Appeal pending on his file, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, the order dated 18.5.2006 passed in S.R.No.15 of 2005 shall not be given effect to. __________ (G. ROHINI). 6th December, 2006. Kgr THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.
