THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.24628 of 2011 ORDER: The action of the second respondent, in not disposing of the petitioner’s appeal No.A/882/2009 seeking cancellation of the earlier order of the third respondent dated 24.10.2009, under Section 5-B of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, as also his proceedings dated 30.12.2008, is under challenge in this Writ Petition as being arbitrary and illegal. When the matter came up on 06.09.2011, Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Telangana Area) sought time to obtain instructions. Today, the Learned Government Pleader submits that the matter is indeed pending with the second respondent; the delay in disposal was on account of numerous applications being filed by the parties; and the appeal would be disposed of within a period of two months from today. Since the order under challenge in the appeal is an order dated 24.10.2009, and the petitioner had filed an appeal thereagainst on 28.10.2009 nearly two years ago, I see no justification to grant two more months for disposal of the appeal by the second respondent. I consider it appropriate, in such circumstances, to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the second respondent to dispose of the appeal, in accordance with law, after giving both the petitioner and the fourth respondent an opportunity of being heard, at the earliest in any event not beyond four weeks from today. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:07.09.2011 Note:CC in one week bo usd
