THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7966 of 2009 ORDER: The Tahsildar, Koratla Mandal, Karimnagar District, the third respondent herein, passed an order, dated 19.03.2008, directing resumption of the land assigned to the petitioners in Survey No.1249 of Koratla Town/Mandal, Karimnagar District, on the ground that the land was kept fallow. The petitioners filed an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Jagtial Division, Karimnagar District, the second respondent herein. They also filed an application for stay. Their grievance is that no orders have been passed in the application for stay and that the third respondent is dispossessing them in the meanwhile. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. It has virtually become a matter of routine for the Tahsildars all over the State to resume the assigned lands on one pretext or the other. It is not as if that any steps are taken to ensure that the agriculture over the assigned lands is carried out. After resuming the lands on the ground that they were kept fallow, straight away they are made available either to multi-national companies or to real estate dealers, if not for populist schemes. It appears that standing instructions have been issued from higher level to the Tahsildars to resume the lands at any cost. This Court has come across several instances, wherein such directions were also referred to. The net result is that the litigation is multiplying and social unrest is increasing day by day. Be that as it may, the petitioners have availed the remedy of appeal before the second respondent. In case, they are dispossessed from the land, nothing remains to be decided. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the petitioners shall not be dispossessed from the land assigned to them on the strength of the order, dated 19.03.2008, passed by the third respondent, till the second respondent disposes of the appeal. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:18.04.2009 Note: Issue c.c. in three days. (B/o) kdl
