THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.14114 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: The petitioner claims title and possession in respect of the land situated in Sy.No.523 of Manugur village to an extent of Ac.2.01 gts. The 2nd respondent herein, by order dated 17.10.2005, passed under Section 3(2)(a) of A.P. Scheduled Areas (Land Transfer) Regulation 1 of 1959, directed ejectment of the petitioner from the land in question. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent-Additional Agent to the Government. Admittedly, the said appeal is pending. However, the 1st respondent did not consider the request of the petitioner to stay operation of the order of ejectment, pending appeal. Hence, this writ petition, alleging that while the statutory appeal is pending, the respondents are taking steps to dispossess to the petitioner. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare, appearing for the respondents 1 to 3, and keeping in view that statutory appeal is pending against the order of ejectment passed by the 2nd respondent, I am of the opinion that it would be appropriate to maintain status quo with regard to the land in question till the disposal of the appeal. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the appeal, pending on its file, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, following due process of law. Till such time, status quo obtaining on as to day, with regard to the nature and possession of the property in question, shall be maintained. No costs. ______________ (G. ROHINI, J.) 13th July, 2006.
