- 2 - THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No.3902 OF 2019 ORDER :

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Tribal Welfare.

2.

Aggrieved by the order of Special Deputy Collector in Case No.48/2013/PNK, dated 17.07.2013 petitioner preferred appeal before the Additional Agent to Government in C.M.A.No.32 of 2014. The said appeal was rejected affirming the decision of original Authority, by order dated 29.01.2019. Aggrieved by the same, petitioner preferred Revision before the Government. 3.

According to learned counsel for petitioner, revision was received by the office of the Secretariat on 12.02.2019. Along with the revision, petitioner also filed interlocutory application praying to grant interim protection pending disposal of the revision. Alleging inaction on the revision and the interlocutory application filed by the petitioner and threatening to take possession from the petitioner and to allot the subject land to the Tribals, this writ petition is filed.

4.

A prima-facie reading of the order of the original Authority and the appellate authority would show that the land is in possession of petitioner and the material on record would disclose that revision along with interlocutory application filed by the petitioner is received and is pending with the revisional authority.

- 3 - 5.

Learned Government pleader fairly submits that direction may be issued to the revisional Authority to pass orders in the Revision itself, within four months.

6.

Having regard to the said submission, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Revisional Authority to pass orders in the Revision filed by the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four (4) months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. Till the orders are passed by the Revisional Authority, the respondents shall not dispossess the petitioner from the subject land. However, the petitioner also shall not create third party interest nor change the physical features of the subject property, till the decision is made by the Revisional Authority. Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed.
