As against the order dated 16-06-2005 passed by the fourth respondent – Mandal Revenue Officer cancelling and resuming the assignment made in favour of the petitioner in Ac.3.26 cents in R.S.No.272/4A/1 of Vellachintalagudam village, Gopalapuram Mandal, admittedly, the petitioners filed an appeal before the third respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer on 16-07-2005, and the same is still pending for consideration. 4. Since the appeal preferred by the petitioner as against the orders of resumption of assignment of land is pending consideration before the third respondent, I deem it appropriate to direct the third respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner in the month of July, 2005 against the orders of the fourth respondent dated 16-06-2005, after affording an opportunity to the petitioner, in accordance with law, within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, the respondents are directed not to dispossess the petitioner from the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the land in question. With the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. __________________ ELIPE DHARMA RAO, J Date: 28th July, 2005 Isn
