HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.16816 of 2007 Order: This writ petition is filed seeking directions to the first respondent, District Collector (S.W.) to cause enquiry into the caste status of the third respondent. 2. Petitioner as well as the third respondent contested for the post of Sarpanch of Ambatpally Gram Panchayat, Karimnagar District, which was reserved for B.C. Community, in the elections held on 29- 07-2006. It is the grievance of the petitioner that though he had submitted several representations and also lodged a complaint to the respondents, disputing the caste status of the third respondent, no steps have been taken to cause enquiry into the matter. 3. However, when the matter is taken up, learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare has placed before this court a copy of the notice dated 30-01-2008, issued by the Joint Collector and Chairman, District Level Scrutiny Committee, Karimnagar, in Form-VI, to the third respondent, acting upon the complaint of the petitioner, whereby the third respondent was directed to attend enquiry regarding his caste status. 4. The grievance of the petitioner is that no enquiry is being conducted regarding the caste status of the third respondent. As much as, now, enquiry has been initiated regarding the caste status of the third respondent, the grievance of the petitioner stood redressed and hence no further directions need be issued at this stage. 5. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to complete the enquiry initiated regarding the caste status of the third respondent as expeditiously as possible and pass appropriate orders. No order as to costs. __________________________ JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY. April 25, 2008 MRR
