Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.GOPALA KRISHNA KALANIDHI Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the matter is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. The petitioner claims that he is entitled for issuance of a patta in respect of an extent of Ac.3.00 of land in R.S.No.270/1 of Mangapathidevipeta Village of Koyyalagudem on the basis of his long standing possession of the said land. It is his case that aggrieved by the orders dated 31.5.2006 passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Jangareddygudem in Roc.No.169/2—3(A), he preferred a revision petition before the sole respondent – Joint Collector, Eluru on 25.7.2006 but so far the said revision petition is not disposed of in spite of his repeated representations and hence he filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions for the early disposal of the revision petition. Since the revision filed by the petitioner on 25.7.2006 against the orders passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer is still pending before the sole respondent – Joint Collector, it is agreed by both the learned counsel to dispose of the writ petition with appropriate directions to the respondent. Accordingly, the Joint Collector, Eluru is directed to consider and dispose of the revision filed by the petitioner on 25.7.2006 against the orders of the Revenue Divisional Officer dated 31.5.2006 as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. N.V.RAMANA,J DT.14.7.2008 msv ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.
