And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep by its Principal Secretary, Panchyat Raj, Secretariat Buildings, Saifabad, Hyderabad. …… Respondents. THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19663 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition has been filed by Yerneni Kusuma assailing the inaction of the Government of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Principal Secretary, Panchyat Raj, Secretariat, Hyderabad- 1st respondent in considering her appeal assailing the order dated 9.7.2010 passed by the District Collector, Nalgonda District-2nd respondent. The petitioner was Sarpanch of Kodada Gram Panchyat. She came to be kept under suspension pending inquiry on certain allegations. She filed W.P.No.27009 of 2009 questioning the order of suspension pending inquiry. The said writ petition ended in dismissal on 29.4.2010. After full pledged enquiry, the District Collector-2nd respondent issued proceedings dated 9.7.2010 removing the petitioner from the office of the Sarpanch. Assailing the order of the 2nd respondent, the petitioner filed an appeal as provided under Section 249 (7) of the Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act 1994. She also moved stay application pending disposal of the appeal. There being no action on the part of the 1st respondent in disposing either the stay application or the appeal, the petitioner approached this Court invoking jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. When the writ petition came up for admission, the learned Special Government Pleader takes notice on behalf of the respondents. Heard learned counsel appearing for the parties. The limited grievance of the petitioner is that the 1st respondent having entertained the appeal is not disposing of the stay application filed along with the appeal. In view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider either the stay petition or the appeal filed by the petitioners assailing the order dated 9.7.2010 passed by the 2nd respondent and pass appropriate orders thereon within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. ______________________________________ JUSTICE B. SESHASAYANA REDDY Date:11.8.2010 Note:Furnsih CC within three days. B/O mrb
