HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.34443 of 2011 O R D E R: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader for Mines and Geology, appearing for respondents 1 to 3 and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondents 4 to 7. The petitioner has questioned the interim order passed by the Joint Collector, Chittoor District, dated 15.11.2010, pending hearing of a revision petition by the eighth respondent. The said petition was filed by the eighth respondent, who alleged that she was granted DKT Patta, and the cancellation orders thereof are questioned by her. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the said order of granting stay was passed by the Joint Collector, Chittoor District in view of pendency of a civil suit O.S.No.196 of 1999 pending before the Junior Civil Judge, Kuppam, as well as Writ Petition No.19276 of 2010 pending before this Court. Now the learned counsel has produced a copy of the order passed by this Court dated 29.11.2010 dismissing the writ petition referred to above. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the said suit referred to above is only a suit for perpetual injunction. In view of the fact that more than a year lapsed since the impugned order is passed by the Joint Collector, I am not inclined to interfere with the said order. However, in the interest of justice, it would be appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the Joint Collector, Chittoor – fifth respondent herein to hear and decide the said revision petition in accordance with law, after issuing notice to all the parties, expeditiously, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________________ VILAS V.
