THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 540 of 2008 ORDER: Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents. The petitioner claims to be the owner and possessor of the land to an extent of Ac.2.95 cents covered by Sy.No. 44 of Bhadrachalam village, Khammam District. The Primary authority, i.e., the Agency Divisional Officer, Bhadrachalam, has passed the order of eviction dated 21-11-2006 against the petitioner in LTR case No. 11/04/BCM, in exercise of powers under the A.P. Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation 1/1959, as amended by Regulation 1/1970. It is submitted that as against the said order of eviction, the petitioner has preferred appeal in CMA.No. 236 of 2007 before the Additional Agent to the Government (Project Officer, ITDA), Bhadrachalam, second respondent and the same is pending consideration. It is further submitted that even the appellate authority has passed interim order dated 11-10-2007 in I.A.No. 83 of 2007, staying the operation of the order of the primary authority, dated 21-11-2006 for a period of three months. It is the grievance of the petitioner that though the appeal preferred by him was finally heard on 1-12-2007, but, the same is not disposed of till date, and, as the interim order granted by the appellate authority expired on 11-1-2008, apprehending eviction, he has approached this Court. As much as the appellate authority has passed the interim order in I.A.No. 83 of 2007 for a period of three months and the appeal preferred by the petitioner was finally heard on 1-12-2007, I dispose of the Writ Petition directing the second respondent-appellate authority to dispose of the appeal in CMA.No.236 of 2007 as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till the disposal of the appeal by the appellate authority, the order of the primary authority dated 21-11-2006 passed in LTR Case No.11/04/BCM shall not be enforced and the petitioner shall be allowed to be in possession of the subject land. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the admission stage. No order as to costs. ---------------------------------- JUSTICE R.
