PETITIONER AND The State of Telangana, rep. by its Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Secretariat, Hyderabd and others ...RESPONDENTS Date of Order pronounced: 18.09.2015 THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V.

1. Whether Reporters of Local newspapers Yes/No may be allowed to see the Judgments?

2. Whether the copies of judgment may be Yes/No marked to Law Reporters/Journals?

3. Whether his Lordship wish to see the Yes/No fair copy of the Judgment?

ORDER:-

Heard.

2. Petitioner filed statutory application under Section 40 of the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950, which is stated to be pending with the third respondent since 13.07.2015. Petitioner states that he has also filed a stay petition along with the appeal, but neither the appeal nor the stay petition is being taken up for hearing.

3. On the previous dates of hearing, learned government pleader, who had taken notice, was required to get instructions as to whether the petitioner's appeal is pending. Learned government pleader now reports that the third respondent fixed an early date for hearing and deciding the appeal.

4. Though Mr.G.Narender Reddy, learned counsel, filed appearance for the sixth respondent, no body is appearing today. In view of the order proposed to be passed, it is not necessary to serve notices on respondent Nos.7 to 10.

5. In view of the facts and circumstances of this case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the third respondent to fix an early date for hearing of the appeal and the interim application filed by the petitioner for interim relief and consider the petitioner's appeal and pass appropriate orders atleast to the extent of interim relief, if it not possible to take up and decide the appeal immediately. Learned Joint Collector is also at liberty to fix early date for hearing of the appeal and after hearing all the parties, decide the said appeal also expeditiously. In view of petitioner's appeal having been pending from 13.07.2015, it would be appropriate that the third respondent passes appropriate order in the interim application at least within ten days of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
