This writ petition has been ﬁled by Vimalamma assailing the action of the respondents 1 to 3 in assigning the lands in dispute to the third parties, pending her revision before the Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Principal Secretary, Social Welfare Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad-4th respondent. 2. The petitioner earlier approached this Court by ﬁling W.P.No. 3446 of 2006, when the authorities attempted to dispossess her from the lands in dispute pending the revision before the Government. The said writ petition came to be disposed of on 23-2-2006, directing the Government of A.P.-4 th respondent to dispose of the revision as expeditiously as possible. The relevant portion of the order reads as hereunder. “As much as from the very orders of eviction, as conﬁrmed by the appellate authority, petitioner has been in continuous possession of the subject land from the year 1978 and the earlier orders which were passed against the very same land, have become final. In any event, with regard to the merits of the case, it is a matter to be considered by the revisional authority in the revision ﬁled by the petitioner. As much as it is stated that the petitioner has been in continuous possession of the aforesaid land, I deem it appropriate to continue the possession of the said land, pending disposal of the revision petition. 6. In that view of the matter, I dispose of the writ petition directing the fourth respondent, the Revisional Authority to dispose of the revision petition as expeditiously as possible. Pending disposal of the revision petition, respondents are directed to maintain status quo with regard to the possession of the land covered by Sy.Nos. 80/1 and 80/2 admeasuring Ac.8–00 cents, situated at Gondulu village, Addateegala Mandal, East Godavari District”. 3. The grievance of the petitioner now is that the authorities are proceeding to assign the land despite the order of status quo granted by this Court in W.P.No.3446 of 2006. 4. When the writ petition came up for admission, the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare received notice on behalf of Respondents No.1 to 4. 5. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for the respondents 1 to 4. 6. Indisputably the revision ﬁled by the petitioner is pending before the Government of A.P. rep. by its Principal Secretary, Social Welfare Department, Hyderabaad-4 th respondent. An order of status quo with regard to the possession has been granted by this Court in W.P.No. 3446 of 2006 pending the revision. 7. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents 1 to 4 not to allot the land in dispute to third parties pending revision. Respondent No.4 is directed to dispose of the revision within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. ______________________________ Justice B.Seshasayana Reddy 2nd September, 2008 KM THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 19006 OF 2008 2nd September, 2008.
