THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.4771 of 2010 Dated:03.03.2010 Between: Somu Venkatalakshmi. …Petitioner and Government of Andhra Pradesh, Revenue, Rep.by its Secretary, Secretariat, Hyderabad, And others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.4771 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is in possession of land admeasuring about Acs.14.00 in Survey Nos.145/1A, 145/1B, 144/1 and 144/2 situated at Narsimharaopalem Village of Veerulapadu Mandal in Krishna District. The land was originally assigned to Janga Pedagopireddy and Nimma Venkateswarlu. They sold the land in favour of Chintala Ramulu and Krishna Kumari, who in turn alienated in favour of Suryadevara Nagamani. On 05.02.2005 the land was purchased by Buchi Ganesh under registered sale deed from whom the petitioner purchased the property under registered sale deed dated 23.07.2005. The fourth respondent initiated action for resumption of the land under Section 4(1) of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (the Act). The petitioner submitted explanation. Resumption order was passed on 14.07.2007. The petitioner’s appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer and her further revision to the Collector were dismissed. Against the Collector’s order, dated 09.12.2009, the petitioner preferred a revision on 06.01.2010 to the Government of Andhra Pradesh under Section 4B of the Act. Along with the same she filed an application for stay of the proceedings of the lower authorities. When the same is not disposed of even after lapse of about two months, she filed the instant Writ Petition seeking a declaration that the inaction of the first respondent is illegal and improper, and for a consequential direction. After getting instructions, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) submits that the case stands posted to 27.03.2010, and that necessary orders will be passed on that day. This Court has perused the order passed by the Tahsildar on 14.07.2007. There is no denial that the petitioner has been in possession of the property since the day of purchase in 2005. In such a case, if immediately some orders are not passed on the stay petition, and in the meanwhile, the land is resumed, the very purpose of approaching the revisional authority would be futile. Therefore, Government should always pass appropriate interlocutory orders either granting stay or rejecting the stay immediately, if necessary, on the very same day when the revision is filed. At that stage it may not be even necessary to obtain the report of the appellate authority or call for the records. Therefore, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to pass appropriate orders on the stay petition within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 03.03.2010 Note: Issue operative portion of this order by wire at party’s costs. B/o. vs
