THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION Nos.23600 and 23604 of 2007 Between: Chamarthi Padmavathamma and another. .. PETITIONERS and The Revenue Divisional Officer and another. .. RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION Nos.23600 and 23604 of 2007 COMMON ORDER: Since similar question of law arises for consideration in these two writ petitions, the same are taken up together for disposal by way of common order. It is the case of the petitioners that against the impugned orders passed by the Tahsildar, Rayachoty Mandal, Kadapa District, in proceedings in Ref.No.B/386-2/2006, dated 10-02-2007, under Section 4(1) (a) of A.P.Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short “the Act”) stating that the possession of the petitioners is in violation of Sub-Section (2) of Section 3 of the Act, the petitioners filed separate appeals before the 2nd respondent on 31-10-2007. It is stated that pending disposal of the appeals, the Tahsildar, Rayachoty Mandal, Kadapa District, is taking steps to dispossess the petitioners from the lands in question. As the appeals are pending, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that it is just and proper to direct the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeals. Accordingly, the writ petitions are disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeals filed against the orders of the 2nd respondent, dated 10-02-2007, in Ref.No.B/386-2/2006, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible. Pending disposal of the appeals, the 2nd respondent is directed not to dispossess the petitioners from the lands in question. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 06-11-2007 Prv
