Arjun Chowdary, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Stamps & Registration. and Revenue, 2. It is the case of the Writ Petitioners that the Writ Petitioners challenged the Order passed by the Revenue Divisional have Officer dated 17,12.2024 {Ex,P.2) before the District Collector, West Godavari District (Respondent No.2) by way of Revision. Counsel for the Writ Petitioners that the Revision It is submitted by the Learned was filed on 10.02.2025 along with the LA seeking suspension of the Impugned Order passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer dated 17.12.2024 (Ex.P.2). 3. Learned Counsel for the Writ Petitioners would submit that , while the Revision Petition filed by the Writ Petitioners is well within the statutory period along with the LA, without considering tj/e same, the Official Respondents 3 herein have visited the fish tanks of the Writ Petitioners on 10.02.2025 threatening to demolish the fish tanks in compliance with the Order dated 17.12.2024 (Ex.P.2) impugned in the Writ Petition. 4. While these are the facts involved in the present case, this Court is of the opinion that the Official Respondents ought not to have threatened the Writ Petitioners that they would demolish the fish tanks during the pendency of the Revision Petition, inasmuch as the Order impugned in the Writ Petition was passed as early as on 17.12.2024 (Ex.P.2) and that the present Writ Petitioners have filed the Revision Petition before the District Collector on 10.02.2025 that is within the statutory period of limitation. It is also submitted that neither the Revision Petition nor the I.A have been numbered by the Respondent No.2 so far. 5. Having regard to the above facts, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of this Writ Petition, at the admission stage, without going into merits, with a direction to the Official Respondents to maintain Status quo until the I.A filed by the Writ Petitioners, which is pending before the District Collector, assailing the Order passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer dated 17.12.2024 (Ex.P.2), is finally disposed. 6. In this view of the matter, this Court is inclined to issue the following \ directions: a) The Respondent No.2 is directed to number the I.A and Revision Petition filed by the Writ Petitioners within two weeks from today, b) After numbering the above I.A and Revision Petition, Respondent No.2 shall issue the Advance Notice to the Writ Petitioners and other interested parties by fixing the date for hearing of the I.A. c) The Respondent No.2 shall dispose of the I.A within a period of four weeks from today by passing a Speaking Order in accordance with Such Order shall be communicated to the Writ Petitioners law. forthwith. ! 4 d) Writ Petitioners are directed to submit Respondent No.2 within a copy of this Order to the a period of one week from today for effective compliance, e) Learned Assistant Government Pleader is directed to convey the gist of this Order to all the Official Respondents forthwith for effective compliance. 7.With these observations and directions disposed of.
