The order dated 11-12-2007 passed in I.A.No.470 of 2007 in O.P.No.162 of 2007 by the learned District Judge, Anantapur is the subject-matter of challenge in this writ petition. By the order dated 08-03-2007 passed in proceedings Rc.No.29/A, the respondent herein declared the petitioner as disqualified as Member of Mandal Praja Parishad, Pamidi-IV, Anantapur. The said order is questioned by the petitioner by way of O.P.No.162 of 2007 before the learned District Judge, Anantapur. Pending O.P., the petitioner filed I.A.No.470 of 2007 under Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure to stay the order of disqualification. The learned District Judge, Anantapur, by the impugned order, rejected the said application of the petitioner. Hence this writ petition. The validity of the order dated 08-03-2007 passed by the respondent herein, disqualifying the petitioner as Member of Mandal Praja Parishad, Pamidi-IV, Anantapur, is the subject-matter of consideration before the learned District Judge, Anantapur in O.P.No.162 of 2007. As much as the order disqualifying the petitioner is passed as early as on 08-03-2007 and the impugned order is passed on 11-12-2007, in absence of any interim order granted by this court in favour of the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the learned District Judge, Anantapur to pass appropriate orders in O.P.No.162 of 2007, pending on his file, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within three months from the date of receipt of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ___________________ (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) November 10, 2010 MRR
