The impugned order is passed for eviction of petitioner from House No.2-3-512/27/95, situated at Bapunagar, Amberpet, alleging that he has encroached to an extent of 167.40 square metres of Government land in T.S.No.1/2, Block-B, Ward 161 of Amberpet village and Mandal and constructed the house. During the course of hearing, when it is noticed that the order of the Mandal Revenue Officer is an appealable order under the provisions of the A.P. Land Encroachments Act, 1905, learned counsel for petitioner seeks to avail the remedy of appeal and requests to dispose of the writ petition granting liberty to file appeal before the appellate authority. As it is stated that the petitioner has purchased the land by way of a registered sale deed from the earlier owner and constructed the house in a piece of land admeasuring 167.40 square metres, and further, as the impugned order is an appealable order under the provisions of the A.P. Land Encroachments Act, 1905, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, permitting the petitioner to file appeal before the appellate authority within a period of eight weeks from today. If any such appeal is filed within the aforesaid period, the appellate authority shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders without raising any objection with regard to limitation. Further, there shall be a direction to the respondents to maintain status quo for a period of eight weeks from today. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _____________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 17th June 2011 N.B: Issue C.C. in four days. (b/o) ajr
