M.R. Anjaneyulu v. The State Of Andhra Pradesh

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE S.V.BHATT W.P. No.28242 of 2018 ORDER:

The petitioner prays for the following relief: "..............Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of the 2nd respondent in not disposing of the appeal in Roc.B2/1174/2008 Dt.03.05.2008 for cancellation of pattadar pass book and title deed issued in favour of 4th and 5th respondents is illegal, arbitrary and violation of principles of natural justice and consequently direct the 2nd respondent to dispose of the appeal in Roc.B2/1174/2008 Dt.03.05.2008 .........."

The Assistant Government Pleader places on record, the written instructions dated 09.08.2018 received from the office of the 3rd respondent.

The 3rd respondent admits that on account of huge work load, the appeal could not be disposed of by 3rd respondent. He further submits that the remarks are already sent to appellate authority/2nd respondent. In these circumstances, it is stated that appeal can be disposed of expeditiously. The inaction complained in the writ petition is against non-disposing of appeal in Roc.B2/1174/2008.

This Court does not want to enquire into the reasons which caused the delay, but keeping in view the statement made by the 3rd respondent namely that the instructions in the appeal are already forwarded, the writ petition is disposed of by this order:

(a) The 2nd respondent is directed to dispose of the appeal as expeditiously as possible preferably within eight (08) weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.

(b) The petitioner is given liberty to file a memo before the 2nd respondent seeking an earlier date for disposal of the appeal.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending, shall stand closed.
