Respondents ORDER: Heard both sides. Petitioner claims to be the owner of the lands in an extent of 98 cents in Sy.No.137/2A and 66 cents in Sy.No.138/1 of Chapirevula Village, Nandyal Mandal, Kurnool District, having got the same under a registered gift deed dated 08.06.2004 from his father, who purchased the said lands under registered sale deeds, for a valid consideration, from the predecessors in title. It is the case of the petitioner that, alleging that the said lands are assigned lands, the 1st respondent- Tahsildar, Nandyal Mandal, Kurnool District, initiated proceedings under the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, and ultimately passed orders on 09.05.2008, for resumption of the said lands. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 2nd respondent- Revenue Divisional Officer, Nandyal, and the same was dismissed on 16.08.2008. Thereupon, the petitioner preferred a revision before the 3rd respondent- Joint Collector, Kurnool, who remanded the matter to the 2nd respondent, by order dated 24.12.2008, for conducting fresh enquiry and passing appropriate orders. Pursuant to such remand, the 2nd respondent taken up the matter for fresh consideration, but however, ultimately, by order dated 27.02.2009, held that the earlier order passed on 16.08.2008 holds good and there is no need to revise the same and accordingly directed the 1st respondent to take further action to implement the resumption orders passed earlier. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner is stated to have preferred a revision before the 3rd respondent- Joint Collector, Kurnool, along with a stay petition, and it is his grievance that neither any orders are passed on the stay petition nor the revision is taken up for disposal till date. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits, the 3rd respondent is directed to dispose of the revision petition filed the petitioner, against the order of the 2nd respondent dated 27.02.2009, in accordance with law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU 23rd September, 2009. IBL
