RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.22374 OF 2008 ORDER: This writ petition is ﬁled questioning the inaction on the part of the respondents in considering the representation, dated 27.09.2008, submitted by the petitioner. It appears, as a consequence of cancellation of the caste certiﬁcate issued in favour of the petitioner, by proceedings dated 27.08.2007 of the District Collector, Vizianagaram, the services of the petitioner, who was working as Electrician-cum- Operator in the respondent Corporation, were terminated by order dated 05.09.2008 of the 3rd respondent- Deputy General Manager (A.P.), Food Corporation of India. Thereupon, the petitioner ﬁled an appeal before the Government of Andhra Pradesh, challenging the proceedings dated 27.08.2007 of the District Collector, Vizianagaram, and obtained stay of operation of the said proceedings pending disposal of the appeal, by order dated 26.09.2008. Thereafter, the petitioner submitted a representation, dated 27.09.2008, to the General Manager, A.P. Region, requesting to permit him to continue in service in view of the stay granted by the Government. Since no action has been taken by the respondents on the said representation, this writ petition has been filed. There is no necessity of going into all the details. Today, when the matter came up for hearing, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent Corporation has placed before the Court a copy of the order, dated 20.10.2008, passed by the 3rd respondent- Deputy General Manager (A.P.), Food Corporation of India, keeping the termination order dated 05.09.2008 in abeyance and allowing the petitioner to continue in service until further orders of the Government of A.P. in the appeal pending before it. In view of the above, nothing survives in this writ petition for further adjudication and the same is liable to be closed. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. No order as to costs. _________________ JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU 22nd October, 2008. IBL
