THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.4959 of 2009 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for respondents. 2. The petitioner herein was in the service of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams and he retired as Superintendent. In view of the conviction recorded by the Criminal Court in Sessions Case No.51 of 2002 on the file of the III Additional Sessions Judge, Mysore, disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him and the petitioner was imposed with the punishment of 10% cut in the pension by order of the second respondent dated 31-10-2003. Against the order of the disciplinary authority, the petitioner herein preferred appeal before the Trust Board. The appellate authority by its order dated 18-04-2008 modified the punishment and restricted 10% cut only for a period of six months. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner further carried the matter by way of further appeal as contemplated under Section 120 (ii) of the Andhra Pradesh Charitable Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act 30 of 1987 on 15-05-2008. It is a grievance of the petitioner that though he filed appeal as early as 15-05-2008, the same is not being considered by the first respondent/Government - appellate authority. 3. As much as appeal filed by the petitioner against the order of the Trust Board dated 18-04-2008 is pending consideration before the first respondent/Government – appellate authority, it is not desirable to go into merits of the case. As it is stated that petitioner has filed appeal on 15-05-2008, I dispose of this Writ Petition directing the first respondent/Government – appellate authority to dispose of the appeal preferred by the petitioner on 15-05-2008 as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner herein shall file a representation in this regard enclosing a copy of this order within two weeks. 4. Subject to above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ___________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J. Date : 13-03-2009. Note : Issue C.C. in one week. B/O skmr
