RAMANA Writ Petition No.3660 of 2009 Order: The main grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that though he made a representation on 21.01.2009, to the Commissioner of Collegiate Education, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, the respondent herein, to approve the change of Correspondentship of Satavahana College, Vijayawada no action has been taken thereon so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Education appearing for the respondent, and at their request, the writ petition is taken up for disposal, at the admission stage. Since the representation made by the petitioner on 21.01.2009 is pending consideration before the respondent, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent to consider and take necessary action on the representation of the petitioner, dated 21.01.2009, in accordance with law, expeditiously, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 25.02.2009 VGB
