THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 17972 OF 2011 O R D E R: An appeal has been preferred under Section 90 of the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950 to the Joint Collector, Nalgonda, the 2nd respondent herein, aggrieved by the orders passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Miryalaguda on 17.11.2008, declining to issue ownership certificates in terms of Section 38-E of the aforementioned Act in favour of the petitioner herein. It is stated by the petitioner that the matter is still pending before the Joint Collector and he has not taken up the issue for consideration. Since two years time has already elapsed, it is only appropriate that the appeal should be heard by the Joint Collector, Nalgonda and decided as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is needless for me to observe that an opportunity of hearing should be provided to the petitioner herein by intimating in advance, the date of hearing of the appeal. With this, the Writ Petition stands disposed of with the consent of the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 4th July 2011 ksld
