THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 25884 of 2006 Dated: 13.12.2006 Between: K.K.M. Chowdary, S/o Nagabhushanam, Occ: Driver, E.384365, aged about 51 years, C/o Piduguralla Bus Depot, Piduguralla, Guntur District. .... PETITIONER AND A.P.S.R.T.C., rep. by its Divisional Manager, APSRTC, Guntur Region, Guntur District and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 25884 of 2006 Order: The main grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that against the punishment order dated 09.01.2004 passed by the 2nd respondent-Depot Manager, he preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent-Divisional Manager on 29.08.2006, but no orders thereon have been passed till date. Hence, he filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents-Corporation. Since the appeal filed by the petitioner is said to be pending consideration before the 1st respondent-Divisional Manager, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The 1st respondent-Divisional Manager is directed to consider and dispose of the appeal dated 29.08.2006, preferred by the petitioner against the punishment order dated 09.01.2004 passed by the 2nd respondent-Depot Manager, expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 13.12.2006 Nsr/Sj
