Sriram Kartik Counsel for Respondent Nos.1 to 4: G.P. for Panchayat Raj Counsel for Respondent No.5: Sri N. Siva Reddy THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SRI ANIL R. DAVE AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.543 OF 2010 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy) This Writ Petition is filed questioning Memo No.24707/PTS.II/A1/ 2009-2, dt.26.12.2009 issued by respondent No.1 whereby it has stayed the operation of order dt.20.11.2009 passed by respondent No.2, suspending respondent No.5 from the office of Sarpanch. We have heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. A perusal of the impugned order shows that respondent No.1 while requesting respondent No.2 to furnish specific remarks on the revision petition filed by respondent No.5 against the order of her suspension, stayed the proceedings of respondent No.2 until further orders. In our opinion, the petitioner ought to have approached respondent No.1 first, with applications for impleadment and vacating the interim order before filing the present Writ Petition. In this view of the matter, without going into the merits of the case, we decline to entertain this Writ Petition at this stage. The petitioner is given liberty to move respondent No.1 to implead himself and vacate the interim order granted in favour of respondent No.5. Subject to the above observations, the Writ Petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, W.P.M.P. No.663 of 2010, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is dismissed. ______________ ANIL R. DAVE, CJ ______________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 20.1.2010 bnr
