IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.22612 OF 2010 DATED:09.09.2010 Between: D. Damodhar Rao … Petitioner And The Government of A.P., Rep. by its Special/Chief Secretary, Panchayat Raj & Rural Development Department Secretariat, Hyderabad and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.22612 OF 2010 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside order dated 07.8.2010 passed by first respondent whereby it has granted stay of the order of second respondent removing third respondent from the office of Sarpanch. In his affidavit the petitioner, who is Upa-Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat in question, stated that immediately on coming to know about the stay granted by first respondent, he has approached the said respondent through his Advocate with an application to implead and vacate the order on 10.8.2010. However, the grievance of the petitioner is that first respondent has not so far passed any order on the petitioner’s application for impleading and vacating the order. Sri P. Venkateswara Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that inasmuch as the appeal filed by third respondent is pending before first respondent, it may be directed to dispose of the same within a specific time frame. Having considered the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, which I find reasonable, first respondent is directed to finally dispose of the appeal filed by third respondent along with the application for impleadment in accordance with law, after giving notice to the petitioner and third respondent within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 09.09.2010 bnr Note: Issue C.C. in one week. (B.O) bnr
