Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner, who allegedly purchased the property from the landholders, filed appeals before the first respondent in August 2005, being F2/3783/2005 and F2/3784/2005. As the same are not expeditiously disposed of, the present writ petitions are filed seeking a direction to the first respondent to dispose of the appeals. After hearing the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General), this Court is of the considered opinion that having regard to the fact that the petitioner purchased the property long ago, and the second respondent issued orders without notice to the petitioner, the first respondent should dispose of the appeals, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be a direction accordingly. The Writ Petitions, with the above direction, are disposed of. Liberty is also given to the petitioner to move the Joint Collector for appropriate interim orders. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 24.02.2006 vs
