THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.21762 of 2011 ORDER: The action of the first respondent, in not suspending the order of the third respondent dated 08.02.2011, as confirmed by the order of the second respondent dated 07.07.2011, is under challenge in this Writ Petition as being arbitrary and illegal. The petitioner claims to have preferred an appeal against the order of the second respondent to the first respondent, under Section 4-A(2) of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, along with an application seeking stay. On the ground that no orders are passed in the stay application and, in the meanwhile, the third respondent was seeking to evict the petitioner from the land in question, the present Writ Petition is filed. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment), on instructions, submits that the appeal itself has been posted for hearing on 06.08.2011. I consider it appropriate, in such circumstances, to direct the first respondent to dispose of the appeal, or stay application, within a period of two weeks from today, and communicate a copy thereof to the petitioner herein. Status quo as on today shall be maintained till the stay application, or the appeal is disposed of whichever is earlier. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) is present in the Court, and undertakes to inform the third respondent of his obligations under this order. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:05.08.2011 usd
