HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 29256 OF 2009 Monday, the Nineteenth Day of January, Two Thousand and Ten Between Smt. Yalamonthi Revathi Petitioner AND The Additional Agent to Government & Project Officer, ITDA, Bhadrachalam, Khammam District and others Respondents ORAL ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. In view of the pendency of the Appeal filed by the petitioner before the Appellate Authority, this writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. The petitioner claims to be the absolute owner and possessor of the land admeasuring Ac.3.00 covered by Sy.No. 84/EE situated at Padamatinarsapuram village, Julurupadu Mandal, Khammam District. By showing the name of the petitioner, an order of eviction is passed by the Special Deputy Collector, Tribal Welfare, Bhadrachalam, in exercise of powers under Sec. 3(1) of the Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation Rules, 1969 as amended by Regulation 1 of 1979 for eviction from the land admeasuring Ac.13.07 guntas in Sy. No. 525. It is the allegation of the petitioner that though he is owner of land covered by Sy. No. 84/EE admeasuring Ac.3.00, which is the petition schedule property, in LTR Case No. 93 of 2005, the respondents were taking steps to evict the petitioner from the land belonging to her covered by Sy. No. 84/EE. Against the order of Special Deputy Collector, Tribal Welfare, Bhadrachalam, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the Additional Agent to Government (Project Officer, ITDA, Bhadrachalam) and also sought for interim orders. When no orders are passed by the appellate authority and when steps are being taken for eviction of the petitioner, this writ petition is filed. The petitioner is not claiming any land covered by Sy. No. 525 admeasuring Ac.13.07 guntas. The petitioner claims ownership and title over the agricultural land covered by Sy. No. 84/EE to an extent of Ac.3.00. Though different survey number is mentioned in the schedule of property, the petitioner is shown as respondent before the Special Deputy Collector, Tribal Welfare in Case No. 93/2005/JLP. On what basis the petitioner is sought to be evicted from the land in Sy. No.84/EE admeasuring Ac.3.00 is a matter which is required to be considered in the appeal preferred by the petitioner, pending before the Additional Agent to the Government i.e. the first respondent herein. In view of the pendency of appeal and as the petitioner claims ownership of the land which is not subject matter of the schedule in Case No. 93/2005/JLP, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents herein not to take steps for eviction of the petitioner from the land in Sy. No. 84/EE admeasuring Ac.3.00 situated at Pedamatinarsapuram village, Julurupadu Mandal, Khammam District, based on the orders passed by the Special Deputy Collector in Case No. 93/2005/JLP till appropriate final orders are passed by the appellate authority. The appellate authority shall dispose of the appeal preferred by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________ R.Subhash Reddy, J. January 19, 2010 MAS
