THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SMT.JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI WRIT APPEAL NO.124 OF 2010 23rd February 2010. BETWEEN: M.V.SATYARAJ AND OTHERS .. APPELLANTS AND MADDA ISRAEL AND OTHERS .. RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SMT.JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI WRIT APPEAL NO.124 OF 2010 O R D E R: (Per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) The background of this writ appeal being manifest from the impugned direction itself, therefore reproduction hereunder; “The District Collector, West Godavari District, the 2nd respondent, is directed to initiate proceedings against the Upa Sarpanch and 11 others, referred to above under Section 249 of the A.P. Panchayat Raj Act.” It is the above said direction that is sought to be set at naught by the Appellants herein, inter alia, on the ground of unheard condemnation, which fact is apparent on the face of non-impleadment of the appellants as a party to the writ petition. It is also discernible that the direction casts an obligation on the official respondents to proceed against the appellants. In the said backdrop, application seeking leave to appeal as also accompanying applications succeed and are allowed. Leave is granted. The grounds which have persuaded us to grant the application are reiterated for grant of interim stay too, however, consensus arrived at between the parties for upsetting the impugned direction, has absolved us of the need to deal with the grounds of challenge taken in the memo appeal. In the circumstances detailed hereinabove, the impugned direction is set aside with a direction to the Registry to implead the appellants in the array of the respondents in the writ petition, with liberty to them to respond through returns within two weeks, if so advised. Interim application to come up for consideration before the learned single Judge thereafter for appropriate orders. To put the record straight, it is pertinent to mention that the challenge before us was to the extent of the direction effecting the appellants only, therefore, rest of the directions, go unaltered. Writ Appeal disposed of. (T.MEENA KUMARI, J) (NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ) 23nd February, 2010.
