THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 9055 of 2010 O R D E R: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj for Respondents 1 and 2. In this Writ Petition, the petitioner has questioned the order dated 01.10.2009 passed by the Mandal Parishad Development Officer, Naguluppalapadu Mandal, Prakasam District, the 3rd respondent herein. The petitioner was appointed as a Field Assistant at Chavatapalem Village. While so, on certain allegations, the 3rd respondent has passed the impugned order removing the petitioner from service. As against the same, the petitioner has submitted a representation/appeal dated 01.04.2010 to the 2nd respondent, a copy of which has been marked to the Project Director (DWMA), Prakasam District. The grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of filing such a representation/appeal before the Appellate Authority, the same is not being considered. At the stage of admission, the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj submits that against the orders passed by the 3rd respondent, an appeal lies to the Project Director but not to the District Collector. In view of pendency of the representation/appeal before the Project Director also, without going into the merits of the matter any further, I direct the Project Director (DWMA), Prakasam District to treat the representation dated 01.04.2010 submitted by the petitioner as an appeal against the order dated 01.10.2009 and dispose of the same as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. Registry is directed to mark a copy of this order to the Project Director (DWMA), Prakasam District. ---------------------------- (R.
