However, the passionate plea of the petitioners that induction of 3rd parties into this very land at this stage would needlessly complicate the exercise of appeal before the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, certainly deserves consideration. Therefore, pending disposal of the appeal, the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration as well as the Joint Collector, Chittoor, would instruct the Tahsildar/Mandal Revenue Officer, Chittoor Mandal not to induct any 3rd parties, either on temporary or permanent basis, into the lands in question. They may regulate collection of the usufruct and attending to the mango orchard by collecting a reasonable amount either from the petitioners, if they are so interested to do or from any 3rd parties, who are residents of the village. This order will be kept in view while deciding the appeal by the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration and in the event the petitioners succeed in the appeal and prefer to retain possession of the lands in question, the payment of the amount determined by the Tahsildar for collection of the usufruct, will be refunded to them. On the other hand, if the petitioners lose the appeal, the question of refunding the amount to them, in the event they have chosen to be in occupation of the lands, would not arise.
