Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.S.R.SANKU Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR SOCIAL WELFARE The Court made the following : ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking suspension of the operation of the order, dated 19.2.2005 in C.M.A.No.31 of 2004 passed by the 2nd respondent. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare and perused the material on record. The case of the petitioner is that against the order of the 2nd respondent in C.M.A.No.31 of 2004, dated 19.2.2005, he has already preferred a statutory revision petition before the 1st respondent- Government of A.P., Social Welfare Department along with an application for stay. However, the 1st respondent has not considered the said application so far and in the meantime, the 5th respondent is taking steps to evict him from the land in question. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that it is necessary in the interest of justice to protect the rights of the petitioner pending the statutory revision petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the statutory revision petition preferred by the petitioner against the order dated 19.2.2005 in C.M.A.No.31 of 2004 as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order. Pending the statutory revision petition, the order in C.M.A.No.31 of 2004 passed by the 2nd respondent shall remain suspended. No costs. _______________ (K.C.
