Though the petitioner preferred an appeal being C.M.A.No.259 of 2007, the same was dismissed by the second respondent- Additional Agent to Government, Bhadrachalam, by order dated 21- 06-2008. As against the said order, the petitioner preferred a revision before the first respondent on 18-10-2008, along with an application for stay of eviction. Alleging that the first respondent failed to consider his revision petition and no orders have been passed even on his application for stay and meanwhile steps are being taken to evict the petitioner from the land in question pursuant to the orders of the respondents 2 and 3, the present writ petition is filed. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for the respondents. Since the revision petition is pending before the first respondent, I am of the opinion that it is necessary to protect the possession of the petitioner till the statutory revision petition is disposed of. Accordingly, without going into the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to dispose of the revision petition pending on its file as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, the order of ejectment passed by the third respondent as confirmed on appeal by the second respondent shall remain suspended. No costs. ______________ G.
