THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.19377 of 2005 01.9.2005 Between: 1. Vempati Laxmaiah, S/o.Venkaiah, Agriculture Madhavagudem village, H/o Kondapuram, Chilkur Mandal, Nalgonda District. and two others. … Petitioners AND 1. The District Collector, Nalgonda District, Nalgonda and two others … Respondents ORDER: Aggrieved by the proceedings of the Mandal Revenue Officer, Chilkuru Mandal, Nalgonda District dated 27.7.2005 whereby and whereunder the assignment of the land in favour of the petitioners was cancelled on the ground that they violated the provisions of A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, the petitioners submitted an appeal to the second respondent. They also filed an application for stay. Though such application was filed on 06.8.2005, no orders are passed leaving the petitioners in lurch especially when the cancellation was made at the instance of Communist Party of India (Marxist) demanding assignment of land for house sites in Survey No.125, which was originally assigned to the landless poor persons. The petitioners, therefore, seek a direction to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Suryapet, Nalgonda District to pass appropriate orders on their application for stay. After hearing the learned Counsel for the petitioners and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment), this Court is of considered opinion that interest of justice would serve by directing the second respondent to pass orders immediately on the application for stay made by the petitioners along with the appeal on 06.8.2005. In the meanwhile, there shall be status quo as to possession for a period of two weeks from today. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) September 01, 2005. NOTE: Issue copy of order by WIRE today at party’s cost. (B/o) YS
