The Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy Writ Petition No.19772 of 2010 Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a declaration, by way of Mandamus, that the inaction of respondent No.1, in passing any orders on the application filed by the petitioners on 14- 07-2010 in Appeal No.12495/PTS.II/A2/2010-10, is unjust and unsustainable. The petitioners sought for a consequential direction to respondent No.1 to pass appropriate orders on the said application. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioners also the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj appearing for respondent Nos.1 and 2. Respondent No.3 is Sarpanch of Turkapalli Gram Panchayat, Shameerpet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. On a complaint filed by the petitioners against respondent No.3, alleging that he has committed certain irregularities, the Divisional Panchayat Officer enquired into the matter and submitted a report, dated 04-01-2010, before District Panchayat Officer, who vide order dated 05-02-2010, considered the said report and restricted the cheque powers of respondent No.3. Subsequently, respondent No.3 was removed from the post of Sarpanch by respondent No.2- District Collector (Panchayat Wing), Ranga Reddy District vide proceedings No.482/2009-B2(pts), dated 19-05-2010, passed in exercise of powers under Section 249 (1) of the A.P.Panchayat Raj Act, 1994. As against the said order, respondent No.3 preferred an appeal before respondent No.1- Government. Pending the appeal, the Government has passed an interim order of suspension, dated 02-06- 2010, in memo No.12495/PTS.II/A2/2010-1. At that stage, the petitioners herein have filed an application seeking impleadment in the said appeal on 5th July, 2010. In this Writ Petition, it is the grievance of the petitioners that though they filed the application seeking impleadment as party respondents in the appeal preferred by the respondent No.3 as far back as 5th July, 2010, no orders have yet been passed. It is to be noticed that the very order of removal of respondent No.3 from the post of Sarpanch, passed by respondent No.2- District Collector, on 19-05-2010, is based on the complaint filed by the petitioners. In that view of the matter, they are proper and necessary parties to the appeal preferred by respondent No.3 and consequently, they are entitled to be impleaded as party respondents in the said appeal. Since the appeal filed by respondent No.3 is pending consideration before respondent No.1, the petitioners herein shall stand impleaded as party respondents in the said appeal. It is further directed that the appeal shall be disposed of as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy this order, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioners and respondent No.3, by fixing a date for such hearing. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ R.Subhash Reddy, J Date: 11th August, 2010 lur
