THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P.S.NARAYANA W.P.No.20249 of 2007 Date:19-11-2007 Between: Karanapu Veeranna Petitioner And The District Collector (Civil Supplies),Srikakulam and others Respondents THE HOUNOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P.S.NARAYANA W.P.No.20249 of 2007 ORDER: 1. Heard the counsel. 2. Sri Krishna Rao entered appearance on behalf of R.4 to R.7. 3. Heard the counsel for the writ petitioner, the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies and also Sri Krishna Rao representing respondents 4 to 7. 4. The main contention advanced by the writ petitioner is that respondents 4 to 7 are not even card holders but only villagers and when a revision filed before the District Collector (Civil Supplies), Srikakulam – first respondent, the first respondent erred in entertaining the said revision and further totally erred in granting an order of stay that too without recording proper reasons. Incidentally, the learned counsel pointed out that there is political rivalry in the village and the Joint Collector (Civil Supplies), Srikakulam- second respondent made an order in detail and absolutely there is no reason to grant interim order in a matter of this nature. Incidentally the learned counsel also pointed out that the proceedings of the Mandal Revenue Officer also being beyond time, the same is without jurisdiction. It is stated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition that there are two political groups in the village and one group of persons are inimical towards the writ petitioner. Several facts had been narrated in relation to the proceedings and also it is further stated that respondents 4 to 7 are inimically disposed of towards the petitioner. The learned counsel for the writ petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies made certain submissions on the locus standi of such villagers in preferring the revision before first respondent . This court is not inclined to touch the merits and demerits of the matter for the reason that the revision is said to be pending on the file of the District Collector, Civil Supplies- first respondent. Hence, the first respondent is directed to dispose of the revision at the earliest point of time preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is needless to say that the writ petitioner is at liberty to advance all the contentions before the revisional authority. Accordingly, with the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ---------------- 19-11-2007 Stp
