Prakash Rao) Heard both sides. The only querstion involved in these appeals is as to whether Act 2 of 1994 i.e., Andhra Pradesh (Regulation of Appointments to Public Services and Rationalisation of Staff Pattern and Pay Structure) Act, 1994, is applicable to the Co-Operative Institutions. The learned Single Judge, against whose orders, these appeals are preferred, held that it has no application. Now the learned Government Pleader for Co- Operation submits that the Government has already brought Act 5 of 2004, an Act further to Amend the Andrha Pradesh (Regulation of Appiontments to Public Servics and Rationalisation of Staff Pattern and Pay Structure) Act, 1994 making it applicable to the Co-Operative Institutions also. Having regard to this submission, the question does not remain to be considered, rendering the main issue involved in these appeals virtually otiose. Recording the same, all the appeals are disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________ B.Prakash Rao, J ____________________ Ramesh Ranganathan, J. July 4, 2006 MAS
