THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.20668 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed aggrieved by the order passed by the 1st respondent dated 11.9.2006, refusing to suspend the order of the 2nd respondent pending appeal. The 2nd respondent by order dated 2.5.2006 passed in exercise of the power conferred under Section 5(1) of Andhra Pradesh (SC, ST & BCs) Regulation of Issue of Community Certificates Act (Act 16 of 1993), cancelled the community certificate in favour of the petitioner with immediate effect. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent. The 1st respondent, though entertained the appeal, by order dated 11.9.2006 declined to grant suspension of the order of the 2nd respondent. Hence, this writ petition. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for the respondents, and having regard to the fact that the statutory appeal is pending before the 1st respondent, it would be appropriate to protect the interest of the petitioner, by maintaining status quo till the disposal of the appeal. Accordingly, the order dated 11.9.2006 is set aside and the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the appeal pending on its file, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, the respondents are directed not to take any coercive steps against the petitioner on the basis of the 2nd respondent’s order dated 2.5.2006. No costs. __________ 4th December, 2006.
