Proceedings have been initiated against the petitioner for his eviction on the ground of his being in possession of Ac.0-63 cents comprising S.NO. 95/2 in contravention of the provisions of A.P. (Scheduled Areas) Land Transfer Regulation 1 of 1959 as amended by Regulation 1/ 1970. After an enquiry, the primary authority i.e. 2nd Respondent ordered for his eviction. Thereupon he filed an appeal as provided under the A.P. (Scheduled Areas) Land Transfer Regulation 1 of 1959 as amended Regulation 1/1970. He also moved application seeking interim stay of the order of the eviction passed by the primary authority. 3. It is the contention of the petitioner that Tahsildar, Rajavommangi, East Godvari District-3rd Respondent is proceeding with the execution of the order passed by the primary authority, despite pendency of the appeal. Hence, this writ petition with a prayer stated supra. 4. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for social Welfare appearing on behalf respondents. 5. The factual aspect of pendency of the appeal filed by the petitioner before the 1st Respondent is not in dispute. Such is the situation, I deem it appropriate to direct the 1st Respondent to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible preferably within three months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. There shall be status quo with regard to the possession in respect of the lands in dispute till the disposal of the appeal or the interlocutory application filed by the petitioner, whichever is earlier. 6.
