Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. By order, dated 03.05.2008 respondent No.2 appointed respondent No.3 as fair price shop dealer of Bommuluru village, Gudivada Rural Mandal, Krishna District. Assailing the said order, the petitioner, who was an unsuccessful candidate, claims to have filed an appeal before respondent No.1 on 06.05.2008 along with stay application. The grievance of the petitioner is that so far respondent No.1 has not disposed of the stay application. Even from the facts pleaded by the petitioner, hardly a week’s time elapsed from the date of filing of the appeal before the petitioner filed the present writ petition. At any rate, since the petitioner is seeking stay of appointment of respondent No.3, respondent No.1 is directed to dispose of the stay application said to have been filed by the petitioner, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, W.P.M.P.No.14073 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated:14.05.2008 Note:Issue CC today.
