THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3774 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have filed a revision before the Joint Collector, Kakinada, the first respondent herein, against the order, dated 28.11.2008, passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Rajahmundry, the second respondent herein. The proceedings arose under the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’). The grievance of the petitioner is that no orders have been passed by the first respondent so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. This is not a case where the petitioner directly approached the first respondent under Section 9 of the Act. The revision was presented before the District Collector and thereafter it was made over to the first respondent. Further, the application for stay was not presented along with the appeal. It was only on 30.01.2009, the application is said to have been filed. Though it cannot be said that there was undue delay on the part of the first respondent in disposing of the application, this Court is of the view that it cannot be kept pending indefinitely. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the first respondent to pass appropriate orders on the application for stay filed by the petitioner on 30.01.2009 in the revision filed against the order, dated 28.11.2008, passed by the second respondent, within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dated: 26.02.2009 kdl
