HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.22698 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as a General Helper Grade-III in the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation Limited, the 1st respondent herein. Through proceedings, dated 14-07-2008, the 1st respondent removed the petitioner from service on the ground that he remained absent unauthorizedly from 04-01-2008 to 14-07-2008. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner filed an appeal before the the 3rd respondent herein, on 17-06-2011. His grievance is that no orders have been passed thereon. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. 3. The petitioner filed the appeal in the year 2011 against the order of removal passed in the year 2008. Obviously, there was delay in preferring the appeal. The 3rd respondent does not appear to have bestowed its attention to it. However, having regard to the fact that the petitioner holds an unskilled post, the delay can be excused. 4. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to pass orders on the representation / appeal submitted by the petitioner, within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, without raising any objection as to the limitation. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J August 29, 2011. KTL
