THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.11108 of 2007 Date:30.05.2007 Between: S.Srinivasulu Reddy and others. .. PETITIONERS AND The Joint Collector and others. ..RESPONDENTS ORDER: This writ petition is filed for the following relief: “To issue an appropriate writ, order or direction, more particularly one in the nature of Mandamus, declaring the action of the first respondent in not passing any order on the appeal files by the petitioners herein against the orders of the second respondent in Ref.No.B/841/04, dated 07.04.2007 as illegal, arbitrary and consequently direct the first respondent to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioners forthwith.” The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that though an appeal is filed before the first respondent along with the stay application, the same has not been disposed of so far. In view of the fact that the application for stay is not disposed of, I deem it appropriate to direct the first respondent to dispose of the application for stay filed by the petitioners against the order of the second respondent, dated 07.04.2007, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till then, the parties shall maintain status quo in respect of the land in question. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________ 30.05.2007 kdl
