THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO W.P.No.12605 OF 2007 Dated: 02.07.2007 Between: Addepalli Nageswara Rao. ..Petitioner And The Government of A.P., Revenue Department (Assignment Wing), rep. by its Prl. Secretary, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. ..Respondents. THE HON”BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.12605 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner herein succeeded to the land admeasuring Acs.5.10 in R.S.No.293/1 and Ac.0.95 in R.S.No. 293/2 situated at Teegalavancha Village, which was originally assigned to his grandfather and father respectively. It appears that respondents 3 & 4 along with their family members occupied the land during 1998-99. The petitioner, therefore, lodged complaint with the Mandal Revenue Officer, being O.P.No.6 of 1990. The same was dismissed on 16.08.1993. The petitioner then filed appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Eluru. Third respondent also filed an appeal insofar as the other extent of the land, which was not restored to him. The appeal filed by the petitioner was allowed and the appeal filed by third respondent was dismissed. These orders were assailed before second respondent-Joint Collector, who dismissed the same on 24.05.2002. Against the said order, third respondent filed a revision petition under Section 4(B)(1) of Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands Prohibition of Transfers Act, 1977. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the revision petition filed by third respondent is pending before the Government for the last five years, the same is not being disposed of, causing prejudice to him. In this writ petition, a direction is sought to first respondent, namely, the Government of Andhra Pradesh, to dispose of the revision petition expeditiously. Though sufficient time is granted to the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue to get instructions, he is not able to say whether the revision petition filed by third respondent is pending or not. In this background, instead of keeping the writ petition pending, it would be better to dispose of the same by directing first respondent to dispose of the revision petition filed by third respondent against the order of second respondent in D. Dis.E3/6243/1999 dated 24.05.2002, if the same is still pending. This exercise would be completed within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ___________ V.V.S.RAO, J Dated:02.07.2007 Note: Issue C.C within one week. (B/o) sj
