THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3073 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner was assigned an extent of Acs.3.00 of land in Survey No.968 of Mittapally Village, Siddipet Mandal, Medak District in the year 1975. Proceedings were initiated against him way back in the year 1996 for resumption of the land on the ground that he did not bring the land under cultivation. Writ petitions ensued and ultimately, the first respondent passed an order, dated 17.03.2008, directing resumption of the land. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner filed an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Siddipet. His grievance is that even while the appeal is pending, the respondents are trying to dispossess him. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The only ground alleged against the petitioner is that he did not bring the land under cultivation. Even on this, the finding is very vague. The order passed by the first respondent discloses that the petitioner raised maize crop during 1987 and 1989. The question as to whether the order passed by the first respondent on 17.03.2008 can be sustained in law needs to be considered by the appellate authority. The petitioner cannot be dispossessed even while his appeal is pending. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the possession of the petitioner over the land in Survey No.968 of Mittapally Village, Siddipet Mandal, Medak District shall not be disturbed or otherwise interfered with, pending disposal of the appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:18.02.2009 kdl
