HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.RAMACHANDRA RAO W.P.No.30932 of 2017 ORDER:

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondents. 2.

Petitioner's grievance is that petitioner had filed appeal before the District Collector on 04-09-2017 challenging the orders passed under Section 4-A of the A.P. Assigned Land (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kothagudem in POT Appeal No.4 of 2017 dt.16-08-2017; that the petitioner had also filed said application along with the said appeal but the District Collector (6th respondent) has not passed any orders in the said application as well as in the appeal.

3.

Learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent Nos.1 and 2 states that the 6th respondent will consider the said appeal as well as the stay petition within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order after giving notice to respondent Nos.3 to 5 also.

4.

Sri S.Madan Mohan Rao, learned counsel for respondent Nos.3 to 5, opposes the granting stay pending appeal to the petitioner. 5.

If stay, pending appeal is not granted, appeal itself would become infructuous.
