ORDER:

"Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignments).

The grievance of the petitioner in the Writ Petition is that without following the Rules i.e., A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Rules, 2007, the respondents are taking steps to dispossess the petitioner from the land in question. The learned counsel for the petitioner in support of his submissions relied on the judgment of this Hon'ble Court reported in 2017 (2) ALD 529.

$\label{eq:1} \begin{aligned} \mathcal{L}{\text{max}} = \mathcal{L}{\text{max}} \end{aligned}$ $\mathcal{L}^{\text{max}}{\text{max}}(\mathcal{L}^{\text{max}}{\text{max}})$ $\mathcal{L}^{\mathcal{A}}{\mathcal{A}}\left(\mathcal{A}\right)=\mathcal{L}^{\mathcal{A}}{\mathcal{A}}\left(\mathcal{A}\right)$

$\mathcal{L} = \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L}$

$\mathcal{L}^{\text{max}}{\text{max}}\left(\mathcal{L}^{\text{max}}{\text{max}}\right)$ $\mathcal{L}^{\mathcal{A}}{\mathcal{A}}(x) = \mathcal{L}^{\mathcal{A}}{\mathcal{A}}(x) + \mathcal{L}^{\mathcal{A}}_{\mathcal{A}}(x)$

$\label{eq:1} \mathcal{L} = \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \mathcal{L} \math$

Following the said judgment, a learned Single Judge passed orders in W.P.No.2047 of 2020, dated 03.01.2020.

Considering the submissions made and reliance on the judgment/placed by the learned counsel for the petitioner, there shall be an interim direction as prayed for, for a period of six $(6)$ weeks.

Learned Government Pleader for respondents granted four (4) weeks time for filing counter.

List the matter on 01.06.2020."
