Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the matter is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. The grievance of the petitioner is that aggrieved by the order dated 4.6.2008 passed by the Tahsildar, Karimnagar resuming the land assigned in his favour in the year 1970, he preferred an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Karimnagar on 1.7.2008 along with a stay petition but so far no orders are passed by the appellate authority either in the appeal or on the stay application and on the other hand, the Mandal Revenue Officer is trying to resume the land. Since the petitioner has already preferred a statutory appeal against the orders of the Tahsildar and the same is still pending consideration before the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, the learned Government Pleader submits that the writ petition may be disposed of with appropriate directions to the respondents, for which the learned counsel for the petitioner also agreed. Accordingly, the 2nd respondent – Revenue Divisional Officer is directed to pass appropriate orders in the appeal or on the stay application preferred by the petitioner against the orders passed by the Tahsildar and communicate the same to the petitioner and till such time the respondents shall not dispossess the petitioner from the subject matter of land With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. N.V.RAMANA,J DT.29.7.2008 NOTE: Furnish CC in two days. (B/o) msv .....
