Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.B.A.PRAKASH REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: P.R.BALARAMI REDDY(SC FOR AP TRANSCO) The Court made the following ORDER: This writ petition is filed challenging the proceedings, dated 02.06.2008, through which the third respondent rejected the case of the petitioner. Ever since the writ petition was filed, several developments have taken place. The third respondent did make some efforts to overreach the orders passed by this Court on an earlier occasion as well as the specific directions issued by the Chairman and Managing Director on 17.03.2008. Exhibiting his smartness, he has even secured an order of ratification from the Corporate Office. Ultimately, wise counsel appears to have prevailed upon respondents. Today, separate proceedings, dated 18.07.2008, issued by the first respondent and the third respondent, through which their earlier orders are withdrawn, are placed before this Court. With this, the cause of action for the petitioner ceases to exist. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the third respondent shall take necessary steps to comply with the directions issued by the first respondent in his proceedings, dated 17.03.2008, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:21.07.2008 kdl ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.2CCs to 2.2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{KSRANI}
