Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.M.VISWANADHAM Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court at the admission stage made the following : ORAL ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. Perused the material placed before me. The only grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of appeal being filed by him challenging the final orders passed by the RDO, who is the appointing authority, along with an interim application seeking reinstatement of the petitioner pending appeal, no interim orders have been passed by the appellate authority. Admittedly, the appeal was filed on 11.1.2005. It appears and as alleged, no interim directions have either been granted or rejected. In such circumstances, this Court cannot go into the facts of the case. But a direction be given to the appellate authority-first respondent to dispose of the interim application, if any filed by the petitioner, within two weeks from the date of receipt or presentation of the copy of this order by the counsel. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. -------------------------- kvsn 28-02-2005 To 1 The Joint Collector, Srikakulam District, Srikakulam. 2 The Revenue Divisional Officer Srikakulam. 3 Mandal Revenue Officer Amadalavalasa Mandal, srikakulam District. 4 Two copies to the GP for Civil Supplies High Court buildings, Hyderabad. 5 Two CDs.
