The Special Deputy Collector (Tribal Welfare), Ramapchodavaram, by order, dated 24.8.2005, made under Section 3 (1) of the A.P. Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation 1 of 1959 as amended by Regulation 1 of 1970 ordered ejectment of the petitioner from the land in question. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred CMA.No.2 of 2006 before the 1st respondent – Additional Agent to the Government. The said Appeal was dismissed by order dated 13.4.2009. Challenging the same, the petitioner preferred a Revision Petition before the Government of A.P. on 2.6.2009 along with an application for stay of the ejectment ordered by the Special Deputy Collector. However, the petitioner’s Revision Petition has not been considered and no order has been passed even on his application for stay. Hence the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for the respondents. Since the Statutory Revision is pending before the 3rd respondent, it would be appropriate to protect the possession of the petitioner till the said Revision Petition is disposed of in accordance with law. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on merits, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the 3rd respondent to dispose of the Revision Petition pending on its file as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order. Till such orders are passed, status-quo obtaining as on today as to the nature and possession of the premises in question shall be maintained. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J. Dt.09.06.2009 mrb
