Through the order passed in January 2008, the third respondent dismissed the petitioner from service with eﬀect from 19.10.2006. The petitioner ﬁled an appeal under Section 81 of the A.P. Education Act, 1982, before the second respondent on 03.05.2008. His grievance is that the said appeal is not yet disposed of. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for School Education for the respondents. The petitioner has already availed his statutory remedy of appeal. The appellate authority has to call for the relevant records and examine the matter after issuing notice to the third respondent-Institution. It cannot be said that there was enormous and extraordinary delay. All the same, in view of the fact that the petitioner is out of service, the appeal needs to be disposed of as early as possible. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to take up the appeal presented by the petitioner, after issuing notice to the third respondent and pass appropriate orders within a period of three {3} months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. _____________________ (L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J) 5th August 2008 RRB
