Admittedly, the petitioner preferred an appeal to the first respondent and the same is pending consideration. Through impugned proceedings dated 04.02.2005, the first respondent rejected the application of the petitioner for grant of stay. Hence this writ petition. The petitioner cannot be permitted to prosecute two parallel remedies in respect of the same proceedings. Therefore, without going into merits of the case, I feel it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the first respondent to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till then, there shall be stay of prosecution. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. 17.02.2005 usd To 1. The Principal Secretary, Govt. of A.P.
