THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4649 of 2009 ORDER: The Tahsildar, Keesara Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, the third respondent herein, initiated proceedings under Section 4 of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, against the petitioners. An order directing resumption of the land was passed on 06.07.2005. The petitioners preferred an appeal before the Deputy Collector-cum-Revenue Divisional Officer, East Division, Ranga Reddy District, the second respondent herein. The appeal was dismissed on 05.05.2008. Thereafter, the petitioner availed the further remedy of revision before the Joint Collector, Ranga Reddy District, the first respondent herein, together with an application for stay. The grievance of the petitioners is that the third respondent is trying to dispossess them even while the revision filed before the first respondent is pending. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The remedy of appeal availed by the petitioners was not successful and they have approached the first respondent by way of revision. While the petitioners assert that they are still in possession of the land and that there is a standing crop over the same, on behalf of the respondents, it is stated that the possession was taken in the month of November, 2005. The order of the second respondent is silent as to the possession over the land. Be that as it may, status quo obtaining as on today deserves to be maintained till the first respondent disposes of the revision filed by the petitioners. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that status quo obtaining as on today over the land covered by the order, dated 06.07.2005, passed by the third respondent, shall be maintained during the pendency of the revision before the first respondent. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:06.03.2009 kdl
