Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.U.RAMANJANEYULU Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court at the stage of admission made the following : ORAL ORDER: Heard both sides. Perused the material placed before me. It appears that the second respondent cancelled the very authorisation of the petitioner. Aggrieved thereby the petitioner preferred an appeal before the first respondent, along with an application seeking interim stay of the order of the second respondent. But the appellate authority has not passed any orders thereon, nor taking steps to dispose of the appeal with expected expedition. Hence the present writ petition. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to dispose of the application filed by the petitioner seeking interim stay of the order of the second respondent and if possible the appeal also, with utmost expedition. No costs. ---------------------------- kvsn 16-03-2005 To 1 The Joint Collector, Kurnool. 2 The Revenue Divisional officer, Kurnool District. 3 Two CCs to GP for Civil Supplies, High Court buildings, Hyderabad. 4 Two CD copies.
