Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.M.RATNA REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR PANCHAYAT RAJ & RURAL DEV. The Court at the stage of admission made the following ORDER: The petitioner, who was placed under suspension after issuing the show cause notice, challenged the suspension order in W.P.No.11244 of 2004 before this Court and the same was disposed of. Aggrieved by the same, the respondents therein filed W.A.No.1046 of 2004 before this Court and the same was allowed giving liberty to the petitioner to avail remedy of revision. Accordingly, she filed a revision before the Government. The gravamen of the complaint in this writ petition is that the Government, which entertained the revision, issued notice to the parties but not passed any orders on the stay application as well as the revision petition. Meanwhile, the Government extended the suspension period by another three months. But if no orders are passed in the revision petition, the revisional remedy will become infructuous. Having regard to the fact that the Government has already entertained the revision, it is supposed to dispose of the revision petition expeditiously after hearing the parties concerned. In view of the same, the respondents are hereby directed to dispose of the revision petition within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. 12th OCTOBER, 2004. Note:furnish c.c. in two days.
