The grievance of the petitioners is that, while things stood thus, the Mandal Revenue Officer issued notices in Rc.B.95/2007 dated 25.04.2007, to which explanations have been filed, but without passing any final orders under Section 4(1)(a) of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short ‘the Act’) the said lands are sought to be distributed towards house sites to landless poor. 2. Learned Government Pleader submits that, in fact, in respect of Polukonda village various orders have been passed in similar proceedings in Rc.B.95/2007 dated 13.10.2007 resuming the lands under Section 4(1)(a) of the Act. 3. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the petitioners submits that no such final orders have been communicated to the petitioners. 4. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the third respondent is directed to communicate the aforesaid orders dated 13.10.2007, if not already communicated, and pending communication of the final orders passed under Section 4(1)(a) of the Act in proceedings Rc.B.95/2007 dated 13.10.2007, status quo obtaining as on today with regard to possession shall be maintained. The writ petitions are accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V. ESWARAIAH, J January 25, 2008 DSK
