THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.15868 OF 2007 ORAL ORDER: The 3rd respondent-Deputy Commissioner of Endowments, Kakinada, passed an order dated 13.6.2005 under Section 28(a) of the A.P. Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987 (for short ‘’the Act”), thereby suspending the petitioner herein, who was a founder family member of the 5th respondent-Temple with immediate effect. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner preferred a Revision Petition before the 2nd respondent-Regional Joint Commissioner. The said Revision Petition being R.P.No.38 of 2006 was dismissed by order dated 25.4.2007. The petitioner states that the said order was received by him only on 17.5.2007 and, immediately, thereafter, he preferred a Revision Petition on 15.6.2007 under Section 93 of the Act before the 1st respondent. It is stated that though the petitioner sought for interim stay of the order dated 13.6.2005, pending the Revision Petition, the 1st respondent failed to consider his request and no orders have been passed so far, and in the meanwhile, the order dated 13.6.2005 is sought to be implemented. Hence, this writ petition. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Endowments appearing for respondents 1 to 4. It is to be noted that pending the Revision Petition before the 2nd respondent, the petitioner filed W.P.No.21609 of 2006, which was disposed of by this Court by order dated 7.4.2007, with a direction that status quo shall be maintained till the Revision Petition is disposed of by the 2nd respondent on merits. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, it would be appropriate to maintain the status quo till the Revision Petition filed under Section 93 of the Act is decided by the 1st respondent. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the Revision Petition filed by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of 8 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, status quo shall be maintained. No costs. _______________ (G. ROHINI, J.) 19th July, 2007. Operative portion by wire at party’s cost. (Bo) Kgr THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.
