Production and Sales Society Limited, Yadagirigutta, Nalgonda District in the interest of justice. Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.D.GOVERDHANACHARY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR INDUSTRIES & COMMERCE The Court made the following ORDER: The petitioner is functioning as a Manager of the second respondent-Handloom Weavers Cooperative Production & Sales Society Limited. A notice, dated 02.06.2008, was served upon the petitioner, which is to the effect that the Managing Committee of the Society met on 16.05.2008 and has resolved to remove the petitioner from service on the ground that he has resorted to acts of indiscipline. The petitioner was required to handover the charge on or before 05.06.2008. The petitioner preferred revision against the notice, dated 02.06.2008, before the first respondent on 05.06.2008. He has also filed an application for stay. His grievance is that the first respondent did not pass any orders on the application for stay and submits that the second respondent is insisting on handing over the charge. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Industries. It is no doubt true that though what is served upon the petitioner is a notice, the service of the petitioner was terminated through the same and that he was not given an opportunity of being heard before it was issued. It does not refer to any departmental enquiry. Be that as it may, the petitioner had availed the statutory remedy of revision before the first respondent. The application filed for stay by the petitioner needs to be disposed of without any loss of time. Otherwise, the very purpose of filing it would be defeated. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the first respondent to pass necessary orders on the application for stay, filed by the petitioner in the revision, within one (1) week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:12.06.2008. Note: Issue cc tomorrow. (B/o) kdl .....
