She allegedly purchased the same under registered sale deed dt.18.12.1998 from the previous owner. On an allegation that the petitioner is in possession of the land in contravention of the provisions of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short, the Act), the respondent herein issued a show cause notice dated 31.10.2005 under Rule 3 of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Rules, 1977 (for short, the Rules). The petitioner allegedly received the same on 12.12.2005 and submitted her explanation on 22.12.2005. It is alleged that the respondent without passing any orders under Section 4 of the Act, is threatening to dispossess the petitioner on allegation that the petitioner purchased the assigned land in contravention of the provisions of the Act. Apprehending dispossession, present Writ Petition is filed. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General), this Court is of considered opinion that interest of justice would be met by directing the respondent to pass appropriate orders within a period of ten days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order under the provisions of the Act duly considering the representation/explanation submitted by the petitioner. Needless to observe that till such orders are passed, if the petitioner is in possession as on today, the same cannot be disturbed. This observation is made in spite of the fact that the petitioner filed the Writ Petition on mere apprehension. The Writ Petition with the above observations is accordingly dismissed. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 5.1.2006 bnr
