THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.3290 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner was assigned an extent of Ac.7.47 cents of land in Survey No.443 of Molakalacheruvu Village in the year 1970. Through his order, dated 06.11.2007, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Madanapalli, 3rd respondent herein, directed resumption of the land to the Government. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner preferred a revision before the Joint Collector, Chittoor, 2nd respondent herein. The revision was dismissed through order, dated 02.08.2008. Thereupon, the petitioner approached the 1st respondent by way of further appeal. An application for grant of stay is said to have been filed. The grievance of the petitioner is that even while the appeal filed before the 1st respondent is pending, the 4th respondent is taking steps to dispossess him. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Assignment. The order dated 06.11.207 passed by the 3rd respondent is silent as to the provision, under which he directed resumption of the land. His effort appears to be to make the land available for assignment of house sites under the Indiramma Housing Scheme. Be that as it may, the revision filed by the petitioner was dismissed by the 2nd respondent. In his order, dated 02.08.2008, the 2nd respondent observed that an appeal lies to the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration. After verifying the matter from that authority, the petitioner filed an appeal/revision before the 1st respondent with an application for stay. In case, the petitioner is dispossessed from the land, pending such revision/appeal, the very purpose would be defeated. The interests of the State can be protected, by directing that the petitioner shall not alienate or otherwise alter the nature of the land. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the land in Survey No.443 of Molakalacheruvu Village, pending the disposal of the revision/appeal filed by the petitioner before the 1st respondent against the order dated 02.08.2008 passed by the 2nd respondent. The petitioner shall not transfer, or create third party interests, or alter the nature of the land. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 19.02.2009 Note: Issue C.C. tomorrow.
