THE HON’BLE SRI BILAL NAZKI, THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT APPEAL No.1835 OF 2005 17th October, 2005 Between: Syed Badruddin & another. ….Appellants. AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh rep. by its Principal Secretary, Home & Cinematograph Dept., Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad & others. …Respondents. ORAL JUDGMENT: (per Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, the Acting Chief Justice) An order was passed by the Joint Collector, Karimnagar District suspending the renewal order issued previously in favour of the writ petitioners with regard to the running of a cinema theatre. Appeal has been filed against this order by the writ petitioners which is still pending. Not waiting for the disposal of the appeal, they chose to file a writ petition being W.P.No.19387 of 2005 which has been disposed of by a learned single Judge of this Court on 1st of September 2005. The learned single Judge found that the writ petitioners could not prosecute two parallel proceedings in respect of the same cause of action; therefore, he gave a direction to the first respondent to pass appropriate orders on the appeal filed by the petitioners within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. Not contented with this order, they filed this writ appeal and this Court while entertaining the appeal passed an order of interim suspension as well. We are in agreement with the views of the learned single Judge that the matter has to be decided by the appellate authority and must be left to the appellate authority. Therefore, we dispose of the writ appeal directing the appellate authority to dispose of the appeal within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the meantime, status quo as regards possession shall be maintained till the appeal is disposed of by the appellate authority. The order dated 30-9-2005 in WAMP.No.3272 of 2005 stands vacated. ______________________ (BILAL NAZKI, ACJ) 17th October 2005. _______________________ (R.SUBHASH REDDY, J.) ARS
