Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.N.SIVA REDDY Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 23338 of 2007 Order: As against the eviction orders dated 23.10.2007, passed by respondent No.2, namely the Tahsildar, Razole, East Godavari District, under Section 6 of the A.P. Land Encroachment Act, 1905, in respect of their respective sheds situated in Survey No. 230 of Thatipaka village, Razole Mandal, the petitioners state that they filed appeals, under Section 10 of the A.P. Land Encroachment Act, 1905, before respondent No.1, namely the Revenue Divisional Officer, Amalapuram, East Godavari District, on 29.10.2007, along with stay applications, and while the said appeals are pending, it is the case of the petitioners that respondent Nos.1 and 2 are seeking to evict them from the sheds in question. Hence, they seek appropriate directions. Despite granting status quo orders, no instructions are reported by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue in the matter so far. However, since the appeals filed by the petitioners are said to be pending consideration before respondent No.1, instead of keeping the writ petition pending, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with the following directions: Respondent No.1, namely the Revenue Divisional Officer, Amalapuram, East Godavari District, is directed to consider and dispose of the appeals filed by the petitioners, and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, expeditiously. Till the disposal of the appeals, status quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained by the parties. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J.
