He alleges that they acquired the property from a non-tribal prior to commencement of Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation, 1959, as amended by Regulation I of 1970 (Regulation, for brevity). Third respondent initiated action under Section 3(2) of the Regulation and by an order dated 13.10.1977 made in S.R.No.25 of 1977, an order is passed ejecting the petitioner. Against the same, petitioner preferred appeal being S.R.A.No.20 of 1977, which was dismissed on 21.7.2001. Challenging the same, the present writ petition is filed. Against the order passed by the Agent to the Government, petitioner has effective alternative remedy by way of revision under Section 6 of the Regulation. Therefore we are not inclined to go into the merits of the case. As the petitioner is said to have been filed revision before the Government subsequent to filing of the writ petition, the Government may take the same on file and dispose of the revision as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after giving notice to the petitioner. The petitioner is at liberty to raise all the grounds before the Government. Pending revision before the Government, there shall be stay of dispossession.
