THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WP NO. 24957 OF 2011 Date of Judgment: 6.9.2011 Between: M. Aswarthamma …Petitioner and The Tahsildar, Dharmavaram Mandal and others ..Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WP NO. 24957 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. Since this writ petition involves a limited grievance of the petitioner, it is being disposed of at this stage. Aggrieved by the order of Tahasildar, Dharmavaram Mandal, Anantapur District in proceedings No. B/335/2011, dated 4.8.2011, the petitioner preferred a statutory appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Dharmavaram, Anantapur district along with an application for stay. The petitioner states that since the order passed by the Tahasildar, Dharmavaram Mandal directs resumption of the petitioner’s land wherein standing crops are existing, the appellate authority- Revenue Divisional Officer ought to have considered the stay application and passed interim orders. The learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance upon the proceedings of the Revenue Divisional Officer, dated 20.8.2011 whereunder the remarks of the Tahasildar along with the records were called for and further in the said proceedings the petitioner’s pending stay application is also referred to. Further the petitioner is apprehensive that by not passing interim orders on the stay petition, the resumption proceedings will now be given effect to by dispossessing the petitioner along with the standing crops. Since protecting the interest of the petitioner pending the appeal preferred by her is imminent and just, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition by directing the second respondent to hear and dispose of the petitioner’s application for stay within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and till then the order of the Tahasildar, Dharmavaram Mandal, Ananthapur district impugned in the appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Dharmavaram shall not be given effect to. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. _________________________ VILAS V.
