Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.V.VENKATARAMANA Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 to 3: GP FOR SOCIAL WELFARE The Court at the admission stage made the following : ORDER: For declaring the action of the 1st respondent in issuing the Memo No.10282/CV.2/2004-1 dated 06-01-2005 rejecting to stay the order of the 2nd respondent in Proceedings Rc.C4/8734/94 dated 08-05-2004 pending disposal of the appeal, as arbitrary and illegal, the present writ petition is filed. Admittedly, the subject matter for cancellation of the Social Status Certificate is pending consideration in the appeal before the first respondent and it has to take appropriate decision. Therefore, I feel it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the first respondent to pass appropriate orders in the appeal within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till then, status quo with regard to the service of the petitioner as on today shall be maintained. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. __________ 12-04-2005 To 1 The Secretary, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Social Welfare (CV.2) Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad. 2 The Collector and District Magistrate, Prakasam District at Ongole. 3 The District Education Officer, Prakasam District at Ongole. 4 Two CCs to the Government Pleader for Social Welfare, High Court Building, Hyderabad.
