THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.20589 of 2010 DT.22.12.2010 Between: Smt.Eesam Vijaya … Petitioner And Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep.by its Principal Secretary Department of Panchayat Raj, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri K.Durga Prasad Counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 3: AGP for Panchayat Raj Counsel for respondent No.4 : Sri J.Suresh Babu The Court made the following ORDER: ORDER: At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. I have heard Sri K.Durga Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj for respondent Nos.1 to 3 and Sri J.Suresh Babu, learned counsel for respondent No.4. This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside order, dated 09.08.2010, passed by respondent No.2, removing the petitioner from the Office of Sarpanch, Sarvail Gram Panchayat, Narayanpur Mandal, Nalgonda District. At the hearing, it is agreed by the learned counsel appearing for both the parties that the appeal filed by the petitioner against the order impugned in this writ petition is pending before respondent No.1. Therefore, it is not appropriate for this Court to adjudicate on the validity or otherwise of the order impugned in this order. The learned counsel for the petitioner has, however, stated that though his client has filed stay application along with the appeal, respondent No.1 has not disposed of the same and that taking note of the said fact, this Court by order, dated 20.08.2010, suspended the order passed by respondent No.2 removing the petitioner from the Office of Sarpanch. It is also not in dispute that on the strength of the interim order passed by this Court, the petitioner is being continued as Sarpanch. As the appeal filed by the petitioner is pending before respondent No.1, it is appropriate that the same is disposed of at an early date. As the petitioner is being continued as Sarpanch under the interim orders of this Court, and her stay application is not rejected by respondent No.1, I find it expedient to continue her as Sarpanch till the disposal of the appeal by respondent No.1. Respondent No.1 is directed to dispose of the appeal, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after notice to the petitioner. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, the interim order, dated 20.08.2010, granted by this Court in W.P.M.P.No.26191 of 2010, shall stand vacated and W.P.M.P.No.26191 of 2010 and W.V.M.P.No.4589 of 2010 are disposed of as infructuous.
