THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 17556 of 2006 Dated: 25.08.2006 Between: Kalisetty Srinivasa Rao, S/o Gopal Rao, Conductor, S. Kota Depot, Vizianagaram District, R/o Kota Veedhi, S. Kota, Vizianagaram District. .... PETITIONER AND The Regional Manager, APSRTC, Rajaraja Narendra Region, Vizianagaram and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 17556 of 2006 Order: The main grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that against the removal order dated 02.05.2006 passed by the 2nd respondent-Depot Manager, he preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent-Regional Manager on 19.05.2006, but no orders thereon have been passed till date. Hence, he filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents-Corporation. Since the appeal filed by the petitioner is said to be pending consideration before the 1st respondent-Regional Manager, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The 1st respondent-Regional Manager is directed to consider and dispose of the appeal dated 19.05.2006, preferred by the petitioner against the removal order dated 02.05.2006 passed by the 2nd respondent-Depot Manager, expeditiously, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 25.08.2006 Nsr/Es
