HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23074 of 2010 Date : 21.01.2011 Between : Kurasam Mangaratnam & others. …..Petitioners And The Additional Agent to the Government, Rampachodavaram, East Godavari District & others. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23074 of 2010 ORDER : Heard learned counsel for petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, appearing for respondents. This writ petition is filed, seeking for a writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in evicting the petitioners from the Church building in an extent of Ac.0.02 cents, situated in Sy.No.125 of Rampachodavaram village and Mandal of East Godavari District, pursuant to the orders passed by the 2nd respondent-Agency Divisional Officer in LTRP No.105/2007, pending disposal of appeal before the 1st respondent-Additional Agent to Government, as illegal and arbitrary, with a consequential direction to the respondents not to evict the petitioners from the aforesaid Church premises. The 2nd respondent-Agency Divisional Officer, Rampachodavaram, has ordered for eviction of petitioners from the land admeasuring Ac.0.02 cents covered by Sy.No.125 of Rampachodavaram village and Mandal of East Godavari District. It is submitted that as against the said order, petitioners have preferred an application along with an application for interim orders, before the 1st respondent-appellate authority, on 28th of August 2010, but no orders are passed in the interim application. It is the grievance of the petitioners that during the pendency of appeal, respondents are taking steps for their eviction. It is contended by the learned counsel for petitioners that there was no transfer as such, in violation of the Land Transfer Regulations, so as to order for eviction under the said Regulations. With regard to merits of the matter, as the matter is seized up before the appellate authority, it is not desirable for this Court to record any finding on the question whether there is any violation of the Land Transfer Regulations or not. As much as it is stated that there is a Church in the aforesaid land and the Regulations provide for appeal to the Agent to the Government, and as the petitioners have already availed the remedy of appeal by filing the same on 28th of August 2010, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent-appellate authority to dispose of the appeal as expeditiously as possible, and till the disposal of appeal by the 1st respondent, the order of eviction, dated 7th July 2010, passed by the 2nd respondent- Agency Divisional Officer, Rampachodavaram, in LTRP.No.105/2007, shall remain suspended. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 21st January 2011 ajr
