THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.325 OF 2008 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a writ of Certiorari to call for records relating to the proceedings No.1523/07-B2 (Panchayat-1), dated 29-12-2007 of the third respondent, and to quash the said proceedings. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development appearing for the respondents. The petitioner was the Sarpanch of Yellareddygudem Village, and on the ground that he has misappropriated certain amounts of the Gram Panchayat. In order to collect the said amounts, the third respondent-District Collector in exercise of his powers under Section 265 of the Gram Panchayat Act, 1994, passed orders dated 29-11-2007. It is the grievance of the petitioner that as against the said order, he preferred an appeal along with an application for interim stay before the first respondent-Government on 04-01-2008, but the first respondent has not yet considered the application for interim stay and on the other hand, the respondents-authorities are taking steps for enforcement of the order dated 29th December, 2007. In view of the pendency of the appeal before the first respondent-Government, it is not desirable to go into the merits of the case at this stage. Inasmuch as the petitioner has already resorted to avail the substantive remedy of appeal provided under the statute, this Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission, directing the first respondent to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible. There shall be further direction to the respondents not to enforce the proceedings No.1523/07-B2 (Panchayat-1), dated 29-12-2007 issued by the third respondent-District Collector till disposal of appeal by the first respondent. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ (R.Subhash Reddy, J) 8th January, 2008 Note: Furnish CC by tomorrow. B/o lur/nn
