Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.K.VENKATESH Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR SOCIAL WELFARE The Court made the following : THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 14920 OF 2008 ORDER: 1. An interim order refusing to stay operation of the order passed by the Appellate Authority is under challenged in this writ petition. 2. The petitioner claims to be the owner and possessor of Ac.1-34 cents in Sy.No. 126/3 of Molleru village, Gangavaram Mandal, East Godavari District. The Special Deputy Tahsildar, Tribal Welfare, Gangavaram Mandal-4th Respondent filed a petition. The Special Deputy Collector (Tribal Welfare), Rampachodavaram-2nd Respondent passed orders under Section 3 of the Andhra Pradesh ( Scheduled Area) Land Transfer Regulation 1/1959 as amended by Regulation 1/1970 for ejectment of the petitioner on the ground of her possession is in contravention of Andhra Pradesh (Scheduled Area) Land Transfer Regulation 1/1959 as amended by Regulation 1/1970. The petition filed by the 4th Respondent came to be allowed on 30-12-2000. The petitioner filed an appeal before the Additional Agent to the Government assailing the order passed by the 2nd Respondent. His appeal was taken on file as C.M.A.No. 108 of 2005. The appellate Authority by order dated 5-3-2008 dismissed the appeal confirming the order of the ejectment passed by the 2nd Respondent. Thereupon the petitioner filed revision before the Government of Andhra Pradesh represented by its Principal Secretary-5th respondent. He also moved application seeking interim stay of the order passed by the primary authority as confirmed by the appellate authority. His application seeking for interim stay came to be dismissed by the revisional authority on 6-5-2008. Hence, this writ petition. 3. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for the respondents. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the revisional authority without going into the points urged by the petitioner and without perusing the record proceeded to dismiss the application with a creptic order and therefore, the order impugned in the writ petition is liable to be set aside. 5. It appears, the husband of the petitioner came into possession of the property and subsequently after the death of her husband she continued to be in possession of the property for over a period of two decades. 6. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the revisional authority-5th respondent to consider the revision filed by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible preferably within three months month from the date of receipt of copy of this order. There shall be status quo with regard to the possession pending revision. No order as to costs. ______________________________ Justice B.Seshasayana Reddy 11th July, 2008.
