HON’BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI W.P.No.22709 of 2011 Dt.11.08.2011 1. Ramineni Prabhakara Rao and four others … Petitioners Vs. 1. The Government of Andhra Pradesh Social Welfare Department, Rep.by its Principal Secretary And four others … Respondents O R D E R: By order dated 25.01.2005 passed by the 3rd respondent- Special Deputy Collector, Tribal Welfare, Bhadrachalam under Section 3 of A.P.Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation 1 of 1959 as amended by Regulation 1 of 1970 ejection of the petitioners herein from the land in their occupation was directed. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners preferred an appeal before the 2nd respondent- Additional Agent to Government Bhadrachalam, along with I.A.No.7 of 2010 to condone the delay of 4 years 8 months. The said application was dismissed by respondent No.2 by order dated 22.01.2011. Against the said order, the petitioner preferred a revision petition before the respondent No.1 on 10.03.2011. Aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the 1st respondent in considering the petitioners’ revision petition, the present writ petition is filed. It is alleged in the writ petition that the respondents are trying to dispossess the petitioners from the land in question taking advantage of the order of ejection passed by the 3rd respondent. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for the respondents and having regard to the fact that the petitioners’ revision petition is pending on the file of the 1st respondent, without going into the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.1 to dispose of the petitioners’ revision petition, following due process of law, as expeditiously as possible, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, status quo obtaining as on today as to the possession of the land in question shall be maintained. No costs. _______________ JUSTICE G.ROHINI Dt.11th August, 2011 PNV
