Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request, the writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. It is the case of the petitioner that he purchased an extent of Ac.1.20½ gts. of agricultural dry land in Sy.No.175 of Rekurthi Village, Karimnagar Mandal, Karimnagar District and had also applied to the Gram Panchayat, Rekurthi, seeking permission to construct dairy farm, shed and poultry farm shed. While so, the ﬁrst respondent issued notice dated 31-08-2007 stating that since the land in Sy.No.175 was not used for agricultural purpose and it was divided into plots to sell, the Mandal Revenue Inspector was directed to take possession of the said land after conducting panchanama. As against the said order, the petitioner approached this Court. By order dated 05-10-2007, this Court disposed of W.P.No.20806 of 2007 and batch directing the petitioners therein to ﬁle an appeal before the appellate authority. The grievance of the petitioner is that the appellate authority had disposed of the appeal without considering the objections raised by him and passed the order in a mechanical way. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue submits that since an alternative remedy of revision lies against the order of the appellate authority, there is no need to entertain the writ petition. Admittedly, a revision would lie against the order of the appellate authority. Hence, without going into the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to ﬁle a revision along with stay application before the third respondent within a period of four weeks from today. On such ﬁling, the revisional authority is directed to consider and dispose of either the revision or the stay application, ﬁled by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law. Till then, status quo obtaining an on today shall be maintained by the parties. No order as to costs. _______________ N.V.RAMANA,J Dt:01-09-2008 Note:Furnish copy within three days B/o usd To 1 The Tahsildar, Karimnagar Mandal, Karimnagar District. 2 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Karimnagar. 3 The District Collector, Karimnagar. 4 Two CCs to GP for Revenue, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad (OUT). 5 Two CD copies.
