PETITIONERS AND 1 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Vizianagaram, Vizianagaram District. 2 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Vizianagaram Mandal. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.K.SITA RAM Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : O R D E R: At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition itself is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. The petitioners, who claim to be in possession of Ac.1.92 cents, felt aggrieved by the inaction of respondent No.2 in completing enquiry into the complaints filed by certain third parties against the alleged unlawful nature of their possession of the said land. It is averred that when respondent No.2 issued notice under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short ‘the Act’), they filed a revision petition before respondent No.1 wherein they have taken the stand that the provisions of the Act do not apply and that while allowing the said revision, in the month of June 1995, respondent No.1 vide his proceedings No.5100/94, directed respondent No.2 to conduct a detailed enquiry. The sole grievance of the petitioners is that though more than 10 years elapsed since then, respondent No.2 has not completed the enquiry. No counter-affidavit has been filed by the respondents. Since the relief claimed by the petitioners in the writ petition is wholly innocuous, the writ petition is disposed of. Respondent No.2 is directed to complete the enquiry into the issue whether the petitioners are in lawful possession of the property in question or not and pass appropriate orders after hearing the petitioners and others, who are interested in the dispute, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP Nos.17440 of 2005, 24172 of 2006 and 4766 of 2008 are dismissed as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Dated 19th June, 2008 vrn
