THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 32031 of 2011 Date: 05.12.2011 Between: Smt. G. Chandrakanthamma ..... Petitioner AND The Revenue Divisional Officer, Kurnool District and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner : Sri P.V. Ramana Counsel for the Respondents : GP for Revenue The Court made the following : ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner in this Writ Petition is limited to non-disposal of the stay application ﬁled in the appeal against the order dated 15.11.2011 of Respondent No.1. This case presents peculiar facts, in the sense, that Respondent No.1 has assumed the role of original authority on the complaint of Respondent No.4 and restrained the petitioner from raising further construction over the plot in question. When the petitioner moved an application for vacating the said order, Respondent No.1, obviously realizing that it is only Respondent No.2, who has the power and authority to initiate proceedings, under the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, gave a direction to Respondent No.2 to initiate such proceedings but declined to vacate the interim order earlier granted by him. Feeling aggrieved by this action of Respondent No.1, the petitioner ﬁled an appeal before Respondent No.3. In the said appeal, the petitioner sought for stay of the order of Respondent No.1. Since the petitioner’s appeal along with the stay application is pending before Respondent No.3, it is not appropriate for this Court to render conclusive ﬁndings on the power or authority of Respondent No.1 to exercise the jurisdiction for giving directions to the petitioner to stop construction. Respondent No.3 shall examine this issue. Since the scope of appeal before him is very limited, instead of directing him to dispose of the stay application ﬁled in the appeal, it would be appropriate to direct him to dispose of the appeal itself within a specified time frame. In this view of the matter, without going into the merits of the pleas raised by the petitioner, Respondent No.3 is directed to dispose of the appeal ﬁled against the order of Respondent No.1 within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after giving notice to the petitioner. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ------------------------------------- (C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 5th December 2011 Issue CC in five days. ksld
