ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 28138 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner herein claims to be in possession and enjoyment of Hec. 0.55 Ares of land in survey No.22/3 and Hec. 0.29 Ares of land in survey No.23/2 of Indukurupeta Village, Devipatnam Mandal, East Godavari District. On a complaint made by the Special Deputy Tahsildar (Tribal Welfare), Devipatnam, the 3rd respondent having initiated proceedings under Section 3 of the A.P. Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation 1 of 1959 as amended by Regulation 1 of 1970 and by order dated 22.10.2007, ordered ejectment of the petitioner from the land in his possession. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner preferred C.M.A.No.36 of 2007 before the 2nd respondent- Additional Agent to the Government. The said Appeal was dismissed by order dated 25.03.2011. Challenging the same, the petitioner preferred a Revision Petition before the Government of Andhra Pradesh on 13.09.2011 along with an application for stay of the ejectment ordered by the 3rd respondent. However, the petitioner’s Revision Petition has not been considered and no order has been passed even on his application for stay. Hence the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for the respondents. Since the Statutory Revision is pending before the 1st respondent, it would be appropriate to maintain status quo with regard to possession of the land in question till the said Revision Petition is disposed of in accordance with law. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on merits, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the Revision Petition pending on its file, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of this order. Till such time, status quo obtaining as on today as to the possession of the land in question shall be maintained. Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ___________ G.
