THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.647 of 2007 Date: 12.03.2007 Between: Dr.Y.S.S.Ramalingeswara Rao ….Petitioner And The State of Andhra Pradesh & others. ….Respondents O R D E R: The elections to the A.P.Medical Council, third respondent herein, were held in July 2006. The results thereof were notified on 02.08.2006, in accordance with the provisions of the A.P. Medical Council Act (for short ‘the Act’). Feeling aggrieved by the results, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the first respondent on 05.08.2006 itself, as provided for under the Act. According to the petitioner, an Officer was appointed to enquire into the alleged irregularities. A report is said to have been submitted. The grievance of the petitioner is that the appeal has not been disposed of as yet, and he seeks appropriate directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader for Medical Health and Family Welfare and the learned Standing Counsel for the A.P.Medical Council. The petitioner availed the statutory remedy of appeal against the elections conducted to the Medical Council. Necessary steps for enquiring into the allegations are said to have been taken. It is difficult to expect instantaneous disposal of such appeals. However, having regard to the fact that the term of the Council is limited, the matter cannot be kept pending for unduly long time. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the first respondent to dispose of the appeal preferred by the petitioner, within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ 12.03.2007 kdl
