PETITIONER AND The Government of the State of Andhra Pradesh, rep.by its Secretary, Social Welfare Department (LTR-2), Secretariat Buildings, Hyderbad and others. .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: It is the case of the petitioner that the third respondent initiated proceedings under Section 3(1) of A.P. Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulations, 1959 and through his orders, dated 22.06.2004, ordered eviction of the petitioner in respect of the land to an extent of Acs.4.19 and Ac.1.00 situated in Survey Nos.63 and 12/5 respectively of Pedabeempalli Village, Devipatnam Mandal, East Godavari District. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner claims to have filed C.M.A., before the Additional Agent to Government, Rampachodavaram, the second respondent, who in turn dismissed the C.M.A., through his orders dated 26.05.2009, confirming the orders of the third respondent. Thereupon, the petitioner preferred a revision petition before the first respondent-Government along with an application seeking stay. It is the grievance of the petitioner that his revision petition has not been considered so far and no orders have been passed even on his application for stay. In the meanwhile, since there is threat of dispossession, the present writ petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for the respondents Since the statutory revision is pending before the first respondent, it would be appropriate to protect the possession of the petitioner till the revision petition is disposed of in accordance with law. Accordingly, without going into the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of, at the admission stage, with a direction to the first respondent-Government to dispose of the revision petition preferred by the petitioner, expeditiously. Till the disposal of the revision petition by the first respondent, status quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained by both the parties. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J.
