THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHAN RAO WRIT PETITION NO.7703 OF 2011 25th MARCH 2011. BETWEEN: MAADHAM ILLAIAH .. PETITIONER AND THE DISTRICT COLLECTOR, WARANGAL DISTRICT, WARANGAL AND OTHERS .. RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 7703 OF 2011 O R D E R: This writ petition is instituted by a Field Assistant who has been suspended through the proceedings dated 15.7.2008 need not be confined to the docket of this court. The writ petitioner promptly carried the matter by preferring an appeal to the District Collector, Warangal on 2.8.2008 calling in question the validity of the orders passed on 15.7.2008 by the 3rd respondent- Mandal Parishad Development Officer, Ghanpur. It is appropriate that the Collector should have disposed of this appeal by now. Unfortunately, the writ petitioner under a mistaken notion that he is a public servant and hence can invoke the jurisdiction of Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal has ventured to do so by instituting O.A.No.6679 of 2008. The 2nd respondent- Project Director, District Water Management Agency, Warangal has filed a detailed counter affidavit in the said matter. It is stated that the appeal preferred by the petitioner could not be disposed of because he has instituted the O.A. in the Tribunal and therefore the District Collector had stayed away from deciding the said appeal. The counter affidavit has been filed on 22.4.2010. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that even to this day the said appeal has not been disposed of. In view of the statement made at the bar that the appeal preferred by the writ petitioner on 2.8.2008 has not been decided so far, I consider it appropriate to direct the 1st respondent to decide the same on merits without being influenced in any other manner and that the petitioner has approached the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal or this court clearly the proceedings instituted by the petitioner before the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal are misconceived, therefore, the 1st respondent shall decide the appeal on its merits within 30 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioner. With this order the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 25th March 2011 tnb THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHAN RAO WRIT PETITION NO.7703 OF 2011 25th MARCH, 2011.
