THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3469 of 2008 ORDER: Although the matter is listed under the caption ‘interlocutory’, at the request of the learned counsel for the parties, this Writ Petition itself is taken up for hearing and being disposed of by this order. This Writ Petition is filed questioning notice in Form-II issued in Rc.A.677/2006, dated 08.05.2007. Petitioners claim that they are residents of Penamaluru Village and Mandal, Krishna District and purchased certain extents of land covered by Survey No.209/2B for a sale consideration, as specified in the averments mentioned in the writ affidavit. Against them, proceedings were initiated under the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short ‘the Act’) alleging that the land in question is an assigned one and it is transferred in favour of the petitioners in contravention of the provisions of the Act. The third respondent – Tahsildar, Penamaluru, Krishna District issued notice in Form-II, dated 08.05.2007, to that effect and the same is the subject matter of challenge in the present Writ Petition. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, it is stated that on the ground that the petitioners have not responded to the impugned notice, the primary authority has passed final orders for resumption of the land in question on 27.06.2007 in Rc.A.677 of 2007. It is also stated that the petitioners purchased the land in question, which is an assigned one, in contravention of the provisions of the Act. Subsequent to the issuance of the impugned notice, as evident from the counter-affidavit, the third respondent already passed final orders for resumption on 27.06.2007 in Rc.A.677 of 2007. Under the Scheme of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, against the order passed by the primary authority, there is a right of appeal and further revision, available to the aggrieved party. In view of the averments in the counter-affidavit that the final orders are passed by the third respondent, and as the interim orders passed by this Court on 26.03.2008 continued all along, I deem it appropriate to permit the petitioners to prefer an appeal against final order, dated 27.06.2007, passed by the third respondent, within a period of two (2) months from today. If the appeal is preferred within such time, the appellate authority shall consider it without raising any objection with regard to limitation. There shall be a further direction to the respondents that order of resumption, dated 27.06.2007, passed by the third respondent shall remain suspended for a period of two (2) months from today. It is open to the petitioners to approach the appellate authority and obtain appropriate interim orders. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 26th JULY, 2011. kvni
