THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.27232 OF 2005 DATED:22.12.2005 Between: Smt. Vemana Rathnamma and others …Petitioners And The District Collector, Chittoor, Chittoor District and others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.27232 OF 2005 ORDER: By order dt.27.7.2005 in Roc.D/389/2005, third respondent herein, passed orders purportedly under Section 4(1) of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, cancelling the assignment and ordering resumption of the land in possession of a large number of persons as house sites. The petitioners herein, who were also the persons whose land was directed to be resumed, filed an appeal under Section 4-A of the Act before the second respondent on 12.9.2005 and allegedly moved an application for stay of the proceedings of the third respondent, in vain. Therefore, they filed the Writ Petition. The only ground urged by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that the inaction on the part of the second respondent in disposing of the appeal is arbitrary and illegal. After hearing the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General) this Court is of considered opinion that it would be in the interest of justice to direct the second respondent to pass final orders in the appeal within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. This submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader on instructions that the land is already resumed is recorded. The Writ Petition with the above observations and directions is accordingly disposed of. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 22.12.2005 bnr Note: CC by 26.12.2005. (B.O) bnr
