Though the petitioner has not stated in the affidavit that he has filed an appeal against the impugned order, at the hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that such an appeal was in fact filed by the petitioner against the order impugned in this writ petition. Inasmuch as the petitioner has already availed the alternative remedy of an appeal, this writ petition cannot be maintained. However, having regard to the grievance expressed by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the stay application filed by the petitioner in the appeal is not being disposed of by respondent No.3, the said respondent is directed to dispose of the stay application, if not already done, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of this order. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to dismissal of the main petition, W.P.M.P. No.39169 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY,J DATE: 8th December, 2010 pnb
