IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD SATURDAY, THE TWENTY SEVENTH DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.24208 of 2011 Between: Bollikonda Laxmi ..... PETITIONER AND The Additional Agent to Government, Khammam District (Project Officer, Integrated Tribal Development Agency) Bhadrachalam, Khammam District and 4 others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.24208 of 2011 ORDER: Heard both sides. Petitioner suffered an order of eviction in Case No.79/2010/PNK on the file of the Special Deputy Collector, Tribal Welfare, Bhadrachalam, dated 29.10.2010. Petitioner contends that the said order is an ex parte order and he has no knowledge of the same. He has, however, filed a statutory appeal before the Additional Agent to Government i.e. Project Officer, ITDA, Bhadrachalam on 25.04.2011 along with an application for stay as well as an application for condonation of delay on the basis of averments in the affidavit, appended to the said application for condonation of delay. But no orders are said to have been passed on any application filed in the appeal. Apprehending dispossession, the petitioner approached this Court by this writ petition. The limited grievance of the petitioner is that while his statutory appeal along with the applications for stay and condonation of delay are pending, no orders are being passed by the appellate authority in those applications and thereby a threat to his possession is continuous, to that extent, he seeks protection from this Court. In the facts and circumstances of the case, and keeping in view of the limited grievance in the matter, I am of the view that the writ petition can be disposed of, by directing the 1st respondent herein to consider and dispose of the applications filed by the petitioner along with the appeal and/or the appeal itself, within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the circumstances, it is also just and proper to grant stay of all further proceedings in pursuance of order of the Special Deputy Collector, Tribal Welfare, Bhadrachalam in Case No.79/2010/PNK dated 29.10.2010, for a period of four weeks. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No order as to costs. ________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR,J Dated: 27.08.2011 Dsr
