IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE THIRD DAY OF APRIL TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 7266 of 2008 Between: K. Sattaiah S/o. Chandraiah R/o. Choutuppal (V&M), Nalgonda (District). ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The Sub-Collector, Bhongiri, Nalgonda District. 2 The Tahsildar, Choutuppal Mandal, Nalgonda District. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.K.NANDA KISHORE for MR.R.RADHA KRISHNA REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.1 in not disposing of Appeal No.243/D/2008 filed by the petitioner, against order dated 22-01-2008, passed by respondent No.2, as illegal. Heard Sri K.Nandakishore, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for the respondents. The petitioner’s Kerosene hawker license was suspended by respondent No.2, by his proceedings dated 22-01-2008, and questioning the said order, the petitioner claimed to have filed the aforesaid appeal before respondent No.1 on 06-02-2008. The only grievance of the petitioner is that so far, respondent No.1 has not disposed of the said appeal. Having regard to the fact that appeal was filed against the order of suspension of the petitioner’s Kerosene hawker license, pending enquiry, the petitioner is justified in his grievance of non-disposal of appeal expeditiously. If the disposal of the appeal is delayed, the very purpose of its filing against an interim order of suspension would be rendered nugatory. In this view of the matter, respondent No.1 is directed to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.9556 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also disposed of as infructuous. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 3rd April, 2008 lur
