G. Arjun, v. The State Of Telangana, Rep.By Its Principal Secretary,

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE CHALLA KODANDA RAM W.P.No. 396 of 2015 DATE: 05.02.2015 Between:

C. Arjun .. Petitioner And

1. The State of Telangana

2. The Joint Collector

3. The Revenue Divisional Officer .. Respondents

O R D E R:- The limited grievance of the petitioner as projected in the affidavit is that even though he preferred a statutory Appeal No.F2/5884 of 2013 before the 2nd respondent-Joint Collector under Section 90 of Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Tenancy Agricultural Lands Act, 1950 against the orders dated 15.10.2013 passed by the 3rd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, and the respondents have filed their counter affidavits and submitted written arguments and the matter has been reserved for orders in 2013, the 2nd respondent, for the best reasons known to him, has not chosen to dispose of the appeal so far. Hence, the present writ petition is filed seeking appropriate directions. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents, on instructions, has submitted that the Joint Collector, who is the present incumbent, undertakes to dispose of the appeal within a period of three months from today after issuing notice and giving an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.

In view of the specific submission made by the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, this Court is inclined to dispose of the writ petition with the following direction: "The 2nd respondent-Joint Collector is directed to consider and dispose of the appeal said to have been preferred by the petitioner, in accordance with law, within a period of three months from today after issuing notice and affording an opportunity to the petitioner to put forth his version."

With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.

As a sequel to the disposal of the writ petition, Miscellaneous Petitions, if any pending, shall stand disposed of as infructuous.
