THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1856 of 2010 ORDER: The Tahsildar, Kamalapuram Mandal, Kadapa District, respondent No.3 herein, initiated proceedings under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 against the petitioners in respect of Acs.13.55 cents of land in Survey No.162 of T.Sadipiralla Village, Kamalapuram Mandal, Kadapa District. An order, dated 27.06.2007, was passed directing resumption of the land. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioners filed an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kadapa, respondent No.2 herein, in the year 2007. They have also filed an application for stay. The petitioners contend that the appeal and the application for stay are being adjourned from time to time and till today, no orders have been passed thereon. Their grievance is that respondent No.3 and his subordinates are trying to dispossess them on the ground that the land is allotted to a public institution. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioners have availed the statutory remedy of appeal. In case they are dispossessed from the land in question, the very purpose of filing the appeal would be defeated. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the order, dated 27.06.2007, passed by respondent No.3 shall remain stayed till the appellate authority disposes of the appeal. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:03.02.2010 Note: Issue cc in three days. (B/o) kdl
