Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.T.RAJENDRA PRASAD Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court at the stage of admission made the following : ORAL ORDER: Heard both sides. The grievance of the petitioner is that aggrieved by the order passed by the second respondent dated 21.3.2005, he filed an appeal along with stay application before the first respondent and the same is still pending. As the petitioner filed an appeal before the first respondent, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the first respondent to dispose of the appeal itself, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ ELIPE DHARMA RAO,J DATED: 29.04.2005 ka To 1 The Joint Collector, Ongole, Prakasam Districgt. 2 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Kandukur, Prakasam District. 3 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Kondepi Mandal, Prakasam District. 4.
