Counsel for the petitioners: Sri P.Krishna Mohan Counsel for respondents: -- The Court made the following:

COMMON ORDER:

These civil revision petitions arise out of the orders in separate interlocutory applications filed in different O.As. filed by the respondents for eviction of the petitioners from different extents of the land in survey No.31 of Gopannapally Village. By similar but separate orders, dated 07.11.2014, passed by the Andhra Pradesh Endowments Tribunal at Hyderabad (for short 'the Tribunal'), it has directed the petitioners to deposit with respondent No.2 temple certain amounts per month ranging between Rs.450/- and Rs.900/- depending upon the extents of the land in their occupation.

Sri P.Krishna Mohan, learned counsel for the petitioners, strenuously argued that his clients are in possession of grama kantam lands, which are not part of survey No.31 of Gopannapally Village and that therefore, there is no justification for the Tribunal to direct his clients to deposit monthly amounts pending disposal of the O.As. filed by the respondents for eviction of his clients. The question whether the house sites in occupation of the petitioners fall in survey No.31 of Gopannapally Village or not needs to be adjudicated in the O.As. filed by the respondents. However, considering the prima facie case, the Tribunal directed the petitioners to deposit certain amounts monthly to the credit of respondent No.2 temple. Therefore, I am not inclined to interfere with the discretion exercised by the Tribunal.

The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that trial in the O.As. was commenced before the Tribunal and that the evidence of P.W.1 has already been completed. He further submitted that his clients have filed applications for survey of the land.

In these facts and circumstances of the case, while declining to interfere with the orders under revisions, the Tribunal is directed to consider the petitioners' applications for survey and dispose of the O.As. as expeditiously as possible and not later than four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioners are permitted to deposit the arrears within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

Subject to the above directions, these Civil Revision Petitions are disposed of.

As a sequel to disposal of the Civil Revision Petitions, miscellaneous petitions filed in these civil revision petitions shall stand disposal as infructuous. __________________________
