HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.RAJASHEKER REDDY W.P.No.43529 of 2018 ORDER :

This writ petition is filed challenging the action of the 4th respondent in trying to dispossess the petitioners from the agricultural land with standing crop for an extent of Ac.1-20 cents, Ac.2-00 cents, Ac.2-00 cents, Ac.2-00 cents, Ac.1-00 cents, Ac.1-00 cents, Ac.1-00 cents and Ac.2-00 cents, Ac.4-00 cents, Ac.5-00 cents respectively Thimmapalem Village, Ponnalur Mandal, Prakasam District under the guise of the impugned order dated 25-10-2018.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are carrying out agricultural operations in the subject lands and there is standing crop in it. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue on instructions submits that subject lands are reserve forest lands and the petitioners have alternative remedy against the impugned order.

Admittedly the petitioners have remedy of appeal against the impugned order dated 25-10-2018. It was brought to my notice that when similarly situated persons approached this Court in WP.No.39664 of 2018, this Court disposed of the same by its order dated 02-11-2018 granting some time to the petitioners to approach the appellate authority. In view of the same, the writ petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioners to approach the appellate authority within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt

- 2 - of a copy of this order and the appellate authority shall consider the appeal in accordance with law. Till such time, status-quo regarding possession of subject lands shall be maintained. If any standing crop is there, the same shall not be disturbed. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition shall stand closed. _________________________________________ JUSTICE A.RAJASHEKER REDDY 30-11-2018 Nvl
