The learned single Judge having observed that in view of the legal position, the appellant is directed not to proceed with the disciplinary proceedings initiated against the writ petitioner pursuant to charge sheet dated 17-5-1995 until the social status of the writ petitioner is decided as per the Act finally, disposed of the writ petition. Having aggrieved by the same, the present writ appeal is preferred by the appellant. Heard the learned counsel. We have perused the order impugned and the entire material available on record. In this case, the disciplinary proceedings are with regard to the social status of the writ petitioner basing on the report of the revenue authorities. As a matter of fact, the enquiry as to the social status of the writ petitioner, has not admittedly been done in consonance with the provisions of the A.P. (Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes) Regulation of Community Certificates Act, 1993. In this back ground of the matter, the observation arrived at by the learned single Judge that the appellant cannot proceed with the disciplinary proceedings initiated against the writ petition till the social status of the writ petitioner is decided as per the above Act, is justified and the same would not warrant any interference by this Court. In the result, the Writ Appeal is dismissed confirming the order of the learned single Judge. No costs. _________________ Justice T.Meena Kumari Date : 09th February, 2005 ______________________ Justice S.Ananda Reddy Dvs/Gurc. Copies to: 1.
