THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.3083 of 2008 Between: Bandela Bramhaiah and others. .. PETITIONERS and The Revenue Divisional Officer and another. .. RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.3083 of 2008 ORDER: It is the case of the petitioners that the 2nd respondent passed various resumption orders in proceedings Rc.No.583/2007-A, dated 06-12- 2007, resuming various assigned lands on the ground that the petitioners violated patta condition Nos.1, 5, 6 and 10 and they have not occupied the lands in question and, therefore, there is a violation of provision of Sub- Section (1) of Section 3 of A.P.Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short “the Act”). Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners filed an appeal along with stay application before the 1st respondent on 25-01-2008. But, so for, neither stay application nor appeal has been disposed of. Admittedly, the resumption orders are not specific as to whether it has been passed in exercise of powers under Board Standing Order 12(3) or under the provisions of the Act. However, as the appeal is pending, I am of the opinion that it is just and proper to direct the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal itself. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal filed against the resumption orders passed by the 2nd respondent in proceedings Rc.No.583/2007-A, dated 06-12-2007, if any pending, as expeditiously as possible, after giving reasonable opportunity to the petitioners, in accordance with law. Pending disposal of the appeal, status-quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 15-02-2008 Prv
