Counsel for the Respondent(S):

¶26

The Court made the following order:

¶27

Heard Sri K.Rathanga Pani Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Divya Teja, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue for respondents 1 to 4. Notice in respect of the 5^th respondent is dispensed with, since no adverse order has been passed affecting his right or interest.

¶28

The grievance of the petitioner is that the 2^nd respondent is not passing any order in the revision vide Rc.No.3674/2026/Co-Ordn.ROR under Section 9 of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 (hereafter referred to as ‘Act’) and Rule 23 of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Rules, 1989; the above writ petition is filed. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that, against the order passed by the 3^rd respondent vide D.Dis.No.D2(B)/1715/2025 dated 11.05.2026 (Ex.P1), the petitioner filed a statutory revision vide Ex.P2.

¶29

¶30

Learned counsel would further submit that, along with the revision, the petitioner also sought interim relief. However, no orders have been passed so far.

¶31

Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue would submit that the revision has been taken up and necessary orders will be passed.

¶32

Whenever an interlocutory application is filed along with the appeal or revision, seeking stay or other ancillary reliefs, passing an order with immediate effect ensures that one party does not suffer irreversible or legal damage while the main case is pending. In fact, the immediate orders prevent either party or the inferior authority from altering or destroying the property, which may result in another unwarranted litigation.

¶33

Given the facts and circumstances of the case, keeping the writ petition pending and inviting a counter will not serve any purpose. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission with the consent of learned counsel appearing on either side, directing the learned 2^nd respondent to dispose of interim application made by the petitioner in the revision filed by the petitioner against the order passed by 3^rd respondent vide D.Dis.No.D2(B)/1715/2025 dated 11.05.2026 (Ex.P1), by following due procedure, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within 10 days from today by following due procedure. Thereafter, the 2^nd respondent shall dispose of the revision by following due procedure, as expeditiously as possible. There shall be no order as to costs. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue shall inform the learned 2^nd respondent about the order.

¶34

As a sequel, pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed.
