HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE CHALLA KODANDA RAM WRIT PETITION No. 31807 OF 2017 ORDER:

The inaction of respondent No.1 in disposing of the revision petition dated 04.09.2017, including stay petition, filed by the petitioners against the order dated 01.08.2017 passed in CMA.No.92 of 2008 on the file of Additional Agent to Government, East Godavari at Rampachodavaram, is questioned in the Writ Petition as being illegal and arbitrary. Though various grounds are raised, learned counsel for the petitioners restricts his prayer seeking a direction to the revisional authority to dispose of the main revision or the stay application filed by the petitioner at the earliest. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner is in possession of the land in dispute and, apprehending eviction, they plead stay of the impugned order dated 01.08.2017. The same is opposed by the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare but, however, states that respondent - authorities may be directed to dispose of the stay application or the main revision, in accordance with law at the earliest.

Having regard to the statements made across the Bar, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the revisional authority to dispose of the revision petition filed against the order dated 01.08.2017 passed in CMA.No.92 of 2005 by the Additional Agent to Government, East Godavari at Rampachodavaram, as early as possible preferably within a

period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. Till such time, status quo obtaining as on today with regard to possession shall be maintained. It is made clear that the revisional authority shall make a speaking and reasoned order after giving due opportunity to the parties involved, as otherwise, the same would be liable to be set aside for failure to do so which would defeat the very exercise done.

Consequently, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed.
