Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that proceedings have been initiated against the petitioner seeking his ejectment from the land admeasuring Ac.6-00 on the ground that his possession is in contravention of Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation 1 of 1959, as amended by Regulation of 1970. The primary authority ordered for ejectment. Thereupon, the petitioner filed an appeal being C.M.A.No.12 of 2003 before the appellate authority. The appellate authority also confirmed the order of the primary authority. The petitioner filed revision assailing the order of the primary authority as well as the appellate authority. His revision is stated to be pending. Pending the revision, the Mandal Revenue Officer,Manuguru-4th respondent is contemplating to evict the petitioner from the land. Hence, this writ petition. Since the revision filed by the petitioner is stated to be pending before the 1st respondent, I deem it appropriate to direct the first respondent to dispose of the revision as expeditiously as possible. There shall be status quo with regard to possession of the land in question pending disposal of the revision or interlocutory application seeking stay of the order passed by the 2nd respondent, whichever is earlier. Writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No costs. __________ 02-07-2008 rkk
