Counsel for the Petitioner: S.SURENDRA KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 and 2: MR.P.VINAYAKA SWAMY The Court at the admission stage made the following: ORDER: Declaring the proceedings No.01/118(7)/1998-TDP, dated 29.03.2001 issued by the 1st respondent, and the proceedings No.TY./19(317)/2001-DVM-A, dated 28.09.2002, issued by the 2nd respondent, as illegal and arbitrary, the present writ petition is filed. Admittedly, as against the orders of the 2nd respondent, a review lies before the Regional Manager. It is not the case of the petitioner that the impugned proceedings are issued in violation of principles of natural justice, and the authority, who passed the impugned proceedings, has no jurisdiction at all. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to give a direction to the petitioner to file a review before the Regional Manager against the impugned proceedings. Since there is delay occurred in filing review petition, the Regional Manager is directed to consider the same sympathetically. With the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ASSISTANT REGISTRAR Dated: 11.03.2005 Dsr To: 1. The Depot Manager,APSRTC, Tadipatri Depot, Tadipatri, Ananthapur District 2.
