THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 1730 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner purchased an extent of Ac.3.00 of land in Survey No.199/25 of Kushaiguda Village from Kesari Sayanna and Yadaiah. The Mandal Revenue Officer, Keesara, 3rd respondent herein initiated steps for resumption of the land from the petitioner, on the ground that the transfer in his favour was contrary to the provisions of A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977. Stating that he was issued pattadar pass book and his ownership cannot be challenged, the petitioner filed O.S.No.316 of 2001 in the Court of IV Additional Senior Civil Judge, Ranaga Reddy District, against respondents 1 to 3 herein. The suit was dismissed on 25.03.2008. Aggrieved by the decree of dismissal of the suit, the petitioner filed A.S.No.650 of 2008 in the Court of Principal District Judge, Ranga Reddy. In I.A.No.1553 of 2008 filed under Order 39 Rule 1 C.P.C., an order of status quo was granted on 23.04.2008 for a limited period. It is stated that it was extended thereafter. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondents 4 to 6, the authorities of the Municipal Corporation are trying to enter into the land. This writ petition is filed with a prayer to restrain the respondents from interfering with the possession of the petitioner over the land. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. From the instructions received by the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing on behalf of respondents 1 to 3, it becomes clear that the possession of the land was handed over by the Revenue Department to the Municipal Corporation, subsequent to the dismissal of the suit. Obviously taking advantage of the fact that respondents 4 to 6 are not parties to the appeal, they are trying to enter into the land and taking further steps. The petitioner has to issue notice under Section 685 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act before any suit is filed against respondents 4 to 6 or they are impleaded in the pending appeal. Therefore, the interests of the petitioner need to be protected till such time. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the order of status quo granted by the Court of District Judge, Ranga Reddy, in I.A.1553 of 2008 shall operate vis-à-vis respondents 4 to 6 for a period of two months from today. In the meanwhile, the petitioner shall take such steps as are open to him in law vis-à-vis respondents 4 to 6. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 04.02.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 1730 of 2009 Date: 04.02.2009 JSU
