Edupuganti Sathyanarayana Murthy v. The State of Telangana

What is this about?
Two writ petitions were filed by an elderly couple challenging the inaction of the State (Respondent No.1) in deciding their revision petitions and stay applications against orders that confirmed eviction from their agricultural land and house in a tribal area. The petitioners claimed possession since 1989 with registered sale deeds. The High Court disposed of the petitions by directing Respondent No.1 to consider and dispose of the pending revision petitions and stay applications expeditiously, preferably within three months, after affording a fair hearing to all parties. No orders were passed on the merits of the land dispute.
